really, it's the client that decides whether the content should be encoded or not, which they typically do by setting an Accept-Encoding request header. so remove that in the client and no compression. from the server side, it looks like you can set use the subprocess_env table to suppress it if you have access to the API apr_table_setn(r->subprocess_env, "no-gzip"); not sure if either of these suits you, though.
