Hi,

I have developed a patch for version 7.10.4 which adds support for the GZIP
Content-Encoding method in HTTP responses.

It also fixes a bug in the handling of Chunked+Encoded responses.

I don't have too many reference sites to test it against but it does work
against Apache 2.0.45 mod_deflate, which confusingly does GZIP encoding not
deflate!

It also works against these sites:

http://sourceforge.net/ which does chunked GZIP.

   Server: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) PHP/4.1.2 mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6b
   X-Powered-By: PHP/4.1.2
   X-Accelerated-By: PHPA/1.3.3r1
   ETag: "jpd-366613196.28588"
   Content-Encoding: gzip
   Connection: close
   Transfer-Encoding: chunked
   Content-Type: text/html

It's a unified diff of 358 lines. Is anyone interested in this patch? If so
shall I post it to this list or something else?

Regards,

Nic Hines
