Well, check out this: https://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/handlers/filters.html#C_PerlOutputFilterHandler_ .

Ha, that would explain it. Thanks for the heads up.
My site is low traffic, so I only use one Apache server for everything.

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...

Hi Jie,
Yes, the instructions on this page work well; but with those, I need to add 'SetOutputFilter DEFLATE' in every virtual host.
I use a global configuration in deflate.conf, and got it to work in 2.4 by replacing :
# AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml
with this:
FilterDeclare COMPRESS CONTENT_SET
FilterProvider COMPRESS DEFLATE "%{CONTENT_TYPE} =~ m#^text/(html|plain)#"
FilterChain COMPRESS
FilterProtocol COMPRESS DEFLATE change=yes;byteranges=no
Which places mod_deflate after my PerlOutputFilterHandler in the chain.
I was surprised nobody else had the problem before, though?
