[Mod_gzip] [ANNOUNCEMENT] mod_gzip 1.3.26.1a

[Christian Kruse]

Hello together,

I wrote some bugfixes and enhancements for mod_gzip and released
mod_gzip 1.3.26.1a. Changes in Version 1.3.26.1a:

* mod_gzip_update_static Yes/No

  This new directive controls wether mod_gzip should re-gzip outdated
  precompressed files. mod_gzip compresses a copy of the original file,
  use it with care! No other modules can handle the content of these
  HTTP requests.

* bugfix for long lines

  In older versions, mod_gzip had a problem with HTTP header lines
  longer than 4k. This bug has been fixed.


* bugfix for POST-requests on Win32

  Previous mod_gzip versions had a problem with POST-request whose
  bodies were larger than 4 or 8k. No it declines them and does not
  compress their output any more.

* Vary bugfix

  The previous version of mod_gzip sent Vary headers in too many cases.
  You could control this behavior by doing something like

  <Files ~ "\.(jpg|gif|png)$">
    mod_gzip_send_vary Off
  </Files>

  But now this is not longer necessary. mod_gzip sends no
  Vary headers when the request is excluded by 'file', 'uri' or
  'handler'.

* Netware patch

  Guenter Knauf (<eflash@gmx.net>) wrote a patch for Netware. It's
  now included.

* Documentation included

  The mod_gzip documentation is now included in the download package.
  There is also a mod_gzip.conf.sample file included.

I hope you enjoy.

Greetings,
 CK
