I don't understand why standard mod_deflate functionality won't work.
If you violate the specs and muck with content-length, it's not going to
work right in a browser, anyhow.

We're not violating the specs, we're following them. The HTTP spec
states that you should send out a content-length header with the correct
trasnfer length, and mod_deflate in this case is not doing that.

I'm not familiar with the CDN acronym. I could be mistaken, but I'm
fairly certain that HTTP 1.1 required support for chunked transfer
(which implies Content-Length would NOT be required for anything HTTP
1.1 compliant). Additionally, I thought the content-length referenced
the contents of the

No it doesn't; it
Sorry, CDN is Content Delivery Network. Akamai, Limelight, etc..
While the CDN supports chunked transfer fine for actually delivering
data, to utilize its caching services (which is the whole point of the
CDN obviously) it wants the content-length header from my servers. It's
stupid, yes, but
Yep, I think it got lost nick. I'd go along with the filter idea after
deflate if it does what I need. Are you referring to mod_filter based
directives such as FilterProvider/FilterProtocol?
The client/partner/vendor isn't requiring it to support HTTP, but to
support their services.
