Yes, I can always indentify my URL where Content-Encoding="" by a pattern. Basically the application is Actuate Reports version 8. The URL for this page which doesn't set header properly - is https://punirtweb1/acweb/servlet/ViewPage?outputType=ROI&outputname=%2fs1%2fBtmu%2fGiroDetails%2eroi&id=10&serverurl=http%3a%2f%2fpunirtapp1%3a8000&connectionHandle=s7whmBpUho%2btg5MUYUgZxq1%2brbtKHLkAq7RmnwSbegyRYEMWxKx8m0pEgUAaXCZHB8OyjFlgo4wmr6%2bgY7wBuIMEv18lQxjMqYBDZL6PJauwr3iZqoReZ6WDG2wLwrh9Vj99AyqFYQrZpg%3d%3d&volume=punirtapp1&closex=false&%5f%5fexecutableid=680&saveoutput=false&format=DHTML&page=1&scalingfactor=100 I can identify all these pages - by "format=DHTML" in the URL string. Also, there is a server URL involved " serverurl=http://...." Actuate Report Server has its own servlets to create content and set type and send them. It is a paginated report - first page, next page etc - type - text/html 1) Fiddler - header for the above page Content-Encoding: 2) For other pages Content-Encoding: gzip So, how can I force this in Apache?

Also, can you give us a short explanation of how these pages are being generated ? I mean what is the application that generates them, where does it live, how does Apache get that content, etc.. And does that application /ever/ by itself generate compressed content ? Can you give us an example of the response headers in both cases (copy and paste from Fiddler) ? I'm just plucking at straws here, trying to figure out the reason for the 10%.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
