i've planned to implment it with as mod_deflate from 1.5 branch:


compress.allowed_encodings = ( "bzip2", "gzip", "deflate" )

The syntax is now:


compress.allowed-encodings = ( "bzip2", "gzip", "deflate" )

Just wondering, why would you disable encodings?

squid 2.6 is stupid enough to not to differenciate between the headers and serving bzip2 compressed body for clients that are unable to render it. i.e client did not send Accept-Encoding: bzip2, but it still gets one.

however it seems that recent browsers, if they get page that they didn't ask (zlib compressed page) are able to still use that page if the headers match. so as zlib works for most of the browsers, i needed to disable only bzip2
