[Mod_gzip] Wildcard in accept-encoding

Hello,

I am working on a project which supports gzip encoded content. For this
purpose I add the following accept-encoding header to a request but the
returned content is never gzip'ed.

Accept-encoding: *;q=0.001

According to RFC2616 this is a valid header which means that any
content-encoding is supported including gzip. I looked through the
mod_gzip code and it looks like it doesn't support this format of the
accept-encoding header. Can someone confirm this? Should I file a bug
report on this somewhere or is it not a bug?

Regards,
Herman Meerlo
