I've been using mod_gzip for a long time - but this is the first time I've
noticed this problem...
When the requested file is in a directory that doesn't exist - mod_gzip
won't compress the output.
ie: I request /test/mouse.html
/test/ exists.
/test/mouse.html doesn't exist.
the handler catches the request - responds - the reply to the client is
compressed by mod_gzip.
I request /test/x/mouse.html
/test/x/ doesn't exist
/test/ still does.
The handler for /test/ catches the request, and replies.
mod_gzip doesn't compress this reply.
Is this a known fault ?
What can I do to rectify it in my situation?
