Re: Content-Encoding never matches ->bug in mod_filter?

[Samuel Vogel <samy-delux@xxxxxx>]

Ok, i found what was the cause of the issue. The documentation states 
that the "!" must be the first character of the match. But this is not 
true. My filter only works like this:

FilterProvider addcomment LAYOUT resp=Content-Encoding $!gzip

Specifically the documentations says 
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_filter.html):

First, if the first character is an exclamation mark (!), this reverses 
the rule, so the provider will be used if and only if the match fails.
Second, it interprets the first character excluding any leading ! as 
follows:

Where should I report this? Or is writing it here on the list already 
sufficient?

Regards,
Samy
