Re: Upgrade to Apache 2.4 breaks encoding in a PerlOutputFilterHandler

I knew it was a problem - but due to our set up of front end proxy / 
mod_perl then this wasn't an issue.. the mod_perl server handles the 
filter - and the front end proxy does the gzipping (we use Brocade 
Traffic Mangers and Apache in different places) - in most production 
environments this is the "usual" setup...
