Hi all,
I have just set up the most recent httpd v2.0.51-dev tree, and have configured a filter that strips leading whitespace from HTML:
AddOutputFilterByType STRIP text/html
The content is served by mod_proxy.
This seems to work fine for HTML requests, but I have noticed that this filter is also being applied to images as well (thus corrupting them). Why would the above directive apply to all content, instead of text/html only as is configured?
Looking at the following docs:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#addoutputfilterbytype
it says that filters are not applied by proxied requests (It does not give a reason why not). From the test above however this statement is false, filters are applied to proxy requests - all proxied requests.
Am I doing something wrong, or is AddOutputFilterByType broken?
