Whoa, wait a minute. That doesn't strike me as the right solution. The encoding should be one-hop only. If it's encoded and we want to maintain that encoding, chances are we'll have to decode it and re-encode it later. Why you ask? Because leaving it encoded makes it impossible to apply another filter on the proxy server (eg mod_include). Now perhaps if we can guarantee that there are no other filters in the chain that will want to modify the content *and* that the client can actually accept the encoding, then as an optimization we can pass the data through the filter chain still encoded. But that would only be an optimization. And it seems like it could be tricky to get it to always work doing it that way, perhaps. (Is there ever a case where the client does not accept an encoding but the proxy does?) --Cliff -------------------------------------------------------------- Cliff Woolley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Charlottesville, VA
