Description Stefan Fritsch 2011-06-01 20:00:36 UTC 
If mod_filter is used to configure mod_deflate like this:

BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 no-gzip
BrowserMatch "\bMSIE [7-9]" !no-gzip
Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
FilterDeclare compress-response
FilterProvider compress-response DEFLATE Content-Type $text/
FilterProvider compress-response DEFLATE Content-Type
$application/x-javascript
FilterProtocol compress-response change=yes;byteranges=no

it is not possible to add the Vary: User-Agent header only if the filter is actually activated.

Maybe mod_filter should have some additional support for adding a Vary header or setting an env var.
