Re: Re: mime_magic_module incorrectly sets Content-Encoding of compressed files

Gordon,

Thanks for the detailed report and the RFC 9110 citation =E2=80=94 you're rig=
ht that this seems to be incorrect behavior.

A couple of suggestions for getting this addressed:

Please file a bug in the httpd Bugzilla at https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/ if=
 you haven't already =E2=80=94 that's where issues get tracked.

For the proposed patch, please bring it up on [email protected]. The GitHu=
b repo is a read-only mirror of the SVN repository, so PRs opened there tend =
to get overlooked. The dev@ list is where code changes get reviewed and commi=
tted.

Thanks for taking the time to track this down and propose a fix.

Rich
