Recently breaking it all into multiple confs was a big help just now.

The problem turned out to be with mod_gzip.


# YES:  CGI scripts
mod_gzip_item_include         file       \.pl$

Excluding this made everything work fine.
So I'm happy now! :)

Can anyone explain to me why this is a problem?
I actually tried in the past to use AuthCookie, but didn't work.
My skills were less, but now I see it couldn't have worked due to this 
problem.

Thanks,
