[Mod_gzip] Possible bug in handling outdated precompressed fi les

[Terry, Bill (MARC)]

Christian Kruse,

Thanks for your reply.  Your instructions are overwhelming, but I will try
them if I can't find any other solution. I've only done makefile once (for
mgstat), and I know nothing at all about CVS.  

I just updated a number of pages. About 50 of the larger ones had
precompressed versions on the Web server. I did not update the precompressed
files, but mod_gzip did as soon as I requested them through the browser with
fail.

The problem may not be in mod_gzip, but in my handling of the files. I work
on Windows PC's and sometimes use WIN_Gzip to gzip individual files, but I
use GZIP from the command line if I want to compress numerous files.  It
could be that one of the gzip applications is doing something to the date
that mod_gzip cannot read. But, that may be irrelevant, because when I FTP
the gz files to the Web server, the server always shows the date that the
file was copied to the server. This is always different from, and later
than, the Windows Created and Modified dates.
