Package: libapache-mod-gzip
Severity: important
Version: 1.3.26.1a-8
We're updated debian from woody to sarge last week and after this we had
an massive traffic increase. Some time of research shows us that
mod_gzip wasn't working anymore.
Our sarge hosts are plain FAI installed with original debian packages
with some little configuration changes.
After a lot of testing today i think there is a bug in libapache-mod-
gzip
(possibly in libapache-mod-fastcgi) which prevents this both modules
to proper work together.
All files not using fastcgi (for example .html, .jpg and so on) coming
with "Transfer-Encoding: gzip" in the header sent by apache. But if i
try to get a fastcgi processed request the header always say
"Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
Played with all possible configuration options for mod_gzip, but doesn't
effect anything. Here my current mod_gzip config in the httpd.conf:
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_minimum_file_size 500
mod_gzip_maximum_file_size 500000
mod_gzip_maximum_inmem_size 60000
mod_gzip_min_http 1000
