Antwort: [Mod_gzip] Problem with mod_gzip

[mod_gzip@lists.over.net]

Hi Eyck,

it means that mod_gzip hasn't even been invoked at
all for this request, so it had no chance to set
any value into its logging note fields.

Which other modules might have stolen away the
handling of this request from mod_gzip?

I don't understand what you refer to.
Please post the exact configuration you are using.

How do you come to this conclusion?
Please post facts and not your interpretations.

Post complete information about what happens.

For an example: In your log file excerpt you omitted
the URL you requested, which might have shown any
uncommon extension of the file, which again might have
shown that you use any uncommon 3rd-party module that
you load onto a higher prioritized module stack position
than mod_gzip and thus disable mod_gzip implicitly.
