Hello,

for our customer we set up several Apache httpds (Server version: Apache/2.4.16 
(Amazon)) in Amazon Web Services EC2 instances across the world. These httpds 
act mainly as caching proxies that are connected to a central web application. 
For caching we use mod_cache_disk.
A couple of days ago one instance served responses with missing Content-Type 
and Content-Encoding header, resulting in download dialogs popping up when 
customer tried to open the page, as the content was interpreted as 
application/octet-stream. The downloaded data was the expected response: a 
gzip-compressed html-file. We could tell that the data was served from the 
cache as we add a custom response header that states if there was a cache-hit 
or not. So we took a look at the relevant *.header-file of the cache entry of 
the page but it didn't have any abnormalities.
After clearing the cache manually everything went back to normal.

Does this behavior sound familiar to anybody?

Regards,
Alexander
