Need a way to disable Vary: Accept-Encoding checking so a plugin can take care
of that
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TS-861
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-861
Project: Traffic Server
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: HTTP
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: William Bardwell
Priority: Minor
Attachments: vary_accept_encoding.diff
I was using the "proxy.config.http.cache.ignore_accept_encoding_mismatch"
config setting and providing alt selection hooks to try to let a plugin take
over handling of gzip vs uncompressed content, but I found that the checking of
Vary: Accept-Encoding headers happened before alt selection, and so the plugin
never got the chance to say "gzip content is fine, I will transform it before
sending it". So I added additional meaning to that setting to fix that.
Perhaps the code should be attached to an all new config setting, but I found
the existing meaning of that setting to not do enough.
