Hi all,



I have just corrected an error in my mod_gzip documentation that

caused a lot of trouble for one user that made me aware of if.



The documentation stated that

     mod_gzip_send_vary Yes

would enable the mechanism of automatically sending "Vary:" headers.



But actually, the correct value has to be

     mod_gzip_send_vary On



The reason why this is a problem is that the directive parser is

written such as that it just checks the value against "on" and

treats every other value as "off", instead of causing an error

(like one might have expected).

I consider this behaviour a bug and filed this accordingly, at


http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=652610&group_id=54
975&atid=475503



I updated the online documentation; but the documentation con-

tained in the download archive still contains the old version.



Regards, Michael
