           Summary: Acrobat Reader Plugin can't handle compressed PDF with
                    mod_deflate
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.54
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_deflate
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: tcastelle@generali.fr


Hello,

This is not really an Apache bug (I think), but more an enhancement request. 

We are using Apache as a reverse-proxy for our websites.

There is an old bug with Acrobat Reader's IE plugin not being able to deal with
compressed PDFs. So we added a 'SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI "\.pdf$" no-gzip'
directive in our configuration file, and it was working fine so far.

But we are now experiencing some problems with a website where PDFs are created
on-the-fly by a Servlet. The requested URI doesn't contain ".pdf" anymore, and
the SetEnvIfNoCase directive doesn't match.

I didn't find a way to specify an exclusion based on the Response MIME type
(application/pdf), except with the AddOutputFilterByType directive, but this one
isn't working with proxy requests (we are using mod_rewrite to forward requests
to the Application Server).

Could you help us with this issue ? Maybe should 'SetEnvIf...' be available for
Response Headers too, or maybe AddOutputFilterByType should work for proxy
requests, or maybe we need a new directive here...

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Thomas Castelle
