adding output filters in quickhandler
Possible bug:
If I add an output filter in the quickhandler for something like /foo/
and later mod_dir changes it to /foo/index.html, my output filter is
never ran.
Is this why mod_cache cannot cache things that end in /. This just
seems broken...

Quick handlers are not for filtering content. Quick handlers assume
all responsibility for the request, e.g. proxy content servers. In fact this
particular hook was debated for quite a while (with some believing it was
inherently a bad thing.)
I don't believe that redirects have the opportunity to do a quick handler,
because the quick handler exists to map a request 1:1 to a result.
