[PATCH] AddOutputFilterByType issues.

From: Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz_at_apache.org>
Date: 2002-04-01 23:56:01 CEST

I've been partly out of it lately, but I think there is a problem
with AddOutputFilterByType. Since ap_set_content_type() can
be called arbitrarily many times, it will try to add each filter
as directed by AddOutputFilterByType on each call. For certain
filters, that isn't a terrifically good idea - such as mod_deflate.
For others (say mod_include), this is okay.

We can't compress a file twice (and is causing problems with
Subversion right now), but that's what we are doing now -
mod_deflate is in the chain twice. mod_mime calls
ap_set_content_type twice in its normal execution (I dunno why,
but that's sucky).

I'm using the following patch to minimize how often
ap_add_output_filters_by_type is called. This fixes the symptom,
but perhaps we should think of a better solution? Perhaps only
allow AP_FTYPE_RESOURCE filters to be added multiple times, and
AP_FTYPE_CONTENT_SET or higher can only be added once?

Thoughts? -- justin
