Gzip compression for dynamically generated content

Hi,

I've been looking into using gzip to compress the output from our mod_perl servers. After a bit of research, I decided to use Apache::Dynagzip. My configuration is as follows:

<Directory "/www/cgi-bin">
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler Apache::RegistryFilter Apache::Dynagzip
        PerlSetVar Filter On
        PerlSetVar LightCompression On
        PerlSendHeader Off
        PerlSetupEnv On
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Options +ExecCGI
</Directory>

This works great, but the only problem is that I'm seeing the Content-Type header duplicated at the beginning of the HTTP response, like so:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# (echo "GET / HTTP/1.1"; echo "Host: www.digitallook.com"; echo) | nc 192.168.100.3 80 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2004 17:44:04 GMT Server: Apache X-Module-Sender: Apache::Dynagzip Expires: Friday, 26-November-2004 17:49:06 GMT Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: close Content-Type: text/html

200a Content-type: text/html <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> .....

We're already printing the Content-Type from our application, so I'm not sure why it's being sent by Dynagzip as well.

Can anyone shed any light on this, or suggest an alternative way to dynamically compress the output from mod_perl?


Regards,
