Is there any sense in maintaining the netscape 4 workarounds in the sample deflate config in 2.4 and later?
They end up setting a Vary on User-Agent which is terrible on caches. I recently assisted a user who skipped the Vary and they ended up corrupting caches instead. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_deflate.html # Netscape 4.x has some problems... BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html # Netscape 4.06-4.08 have some more problems BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip # MSIE masquerades as Netscape, but it is fine BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html # Don't compress images SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary # Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary In 2.2, I would add a warning about caches, but leave the canned example. -- Eric Covener cove...@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docs-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: docs-h...@httpd.apache.org
