--- Comment #15 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
There is a long discussion on the httpd ticket on the merits of adding "-gzip"
or similar to a strong  ETag and removing it when seen on a request. The short
version is that unless a server tracks the ETags it edited, the server can't be
sure that the Etag that has "-gzip" on the end has it because the server added
it.

I'm not sure my "make the strong ETag weak" idea is a good one. I suspect there
might be some edge cases where there would be breakage.

Of all the ideas, disabling compression in the presence of a strong ETag seems
like the best solution to me. An open question is do we make this configurable
or do we just do it? If configurable, I'd argue for enabled by default.
