A few people have reported lately that they experience a problem with a
chunked output from *::Gzip filters. I think that using DESTROY to
Finalize Output technique as described at
http://perl.apache.org/guide/snippets.html#Using_DESTROY_to_Finalize_Output
will provide a nice workaround.
If any of you have a few spare minutes, this can be solved on a global
level without changing a line in your original code (and making a nice
contribution to the mod_perl community :). Just write another
Apache::Filter like module, (let's call it Apache::Buffer) which will
buffer all the input and flush it using the above technique. So you'd use:
<Files *.html>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::OutputChain Apache::GzipChain \
Apache::Buffer Apache::PassFile
</Files>
This will solve two problems:
1) chunked gzipped output
2) will improve the compression as there will be more input to work on at
once for the GZip module.
What do you think?
