#13 adding charset breaks mod_gzip

[Anonymous]

If I send my Content-type response as following (from a CGI script):

Content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

then mod_gzip will not encode it with the error RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE_EXCLUDED, even though it is text/html and text/html is set to be encoded. It appears that it is incorrectly matching on the entire Content-type string, in violation of the HTTP specification.

Can you show me the directive with which you included the MIME type?

"mod-gzip_item_include mime" does in fact match the whole
content of the "content-type:" HTTP header.

But you are free to use a value like "^text/html;" to do a
prefix match (as opposed to "^text/html$" for an exact
match) and thus have mod_gzip ignore the charset.

This case is explicitly covered in the manual
(http://www.schroepl.net/projekte/mod_gzip/config.htm#filters).
