#36663 [Opn->Ver]: unexpected difference between "zlib.output_compression" and "ob_gzhandler"

ID: 36663 Updated by: vrana@php.net Reported By: atom at smasher dot org -Status: Open +Status: Verified Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 4.4.2 New Comment: I can confirm the behavior but could not find any place in the sources which explains it. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-09 16:46:57] atom at smasher dot org If nothing else, this would at least be a documentation bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-03-09 09:15:26] atom at smasher dot org Description: ------------ if php.ini has: output_handler = ob_gzhandler dynamically generated JPGs are output with gzip (Content-Encoding: gzip). if php.ini has (instead): zlib.output_compression = on dynamically generated JPGs are output without gzip. In both cases the HTTP request includes "Accept-Encoding: gzip". It does seem stupid to attempt to compress a compressed image file, but I can't find any documentation that explains which way is the "right" way to do it, or how to override the default behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36663&edit=1
