hello list,My Apache 2.2.3 does reverse proxy to an internal backend (application)server which does Content-Encoding:gzip (=compression) on most of the content he delivers, by default. The Proxy* directives are inside a virtual host.
But I'd like the proxy to do all the compression work,a) because mod_security cannot handle encoded content(in the response from backend),
b) it would be redundant to compress the already compressed content.So to talk to the backend uncompressed, I strip the Accept-Encoding with "Request-Header unset Accept-Encoding" from the client request. Now the backend sends its responses without compression. But they go to the client uncompressed too, of course.
What would I have to do to let the proxy compress the response to the client (again)? Simply setting the SetOutputFilter DEFLATE is not enough. Also I would have to deal with clients not supporting compression on the proxy myself, instead of letting the backend do the work.
