Bug ID: 63186
Summary: Error pages aren't compressed (404, 410)
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.4.29
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: Core

Target Milestone: ---
Hi,
I've just noticed that the 404 et 410 pages of my websites aren't compressed
(no Content-Encoding header, they're sent in plain text).
I use mod_brotli and mod_gzip as a fallback.
Maybe there's something wrong in my setup, but if that's the case, a lot of big
websites have the same problem. Apparently, NGinx, Varnish and Caddy do
compress 404 and 410 responses... but Apache httpd server doesn't.
This is a shame because some websites have a lot of these, not because they're
broken, but because they have a lot of temporary content (events, classifieds,
for exemple).
Plus, it makes the users wait longer to see a broken page, which is quite
annoying.
Is there a good reason why Apache httpd doesn't compress 404 and 410 pages?
During my researches, I couldn't find anything about it, but found some quite
big 404 pages, weighting more than 100KB, which is a lot on Edge connections.
