In my (incomplete) testing, Netscape 4.7x works. So far
Apache::Compress takes the browser at its word, and only compresses the
content if it sees an "Accept-Encoding: gzip" header sent from the
client to the server. Some other folks have used the approach of
forcing gzipped content whenever the module "knows" the browser can
handle it. I tend not to like that approach.
The Apache::Compress code is only about 40 lines long in total, you
might try putting a few debug statements in there to see what's going on.
It's possible that the Content-length header isn't getting properly
reset (Apache::Compress doesn't set it, though it probably should), but
that the content is getting compressed/decompressed properly anyway.
I'm not sure whether that's much of a problem for most browsers or not.
Certainly it must be a problem for caching proxies or something.
