I have setup a reverse proxy on my workplace LAN so several sites can be accessed from outside our LAN. I have included the mod-proxy-HTML, so it handles the rewriting of URLs in the returned HTML.

However Firefox and Chromium complains about an encoding problem.

If I edit the network.http.accept-encoding option of Firefox and remove the default gzip;deflate; then the site looks ok.

Configuring Apache like this:

SetOutputFilter INFLATE;proxy-html;DEFLATE

solved my problem.

    I had to uncomment LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so in my httpd.conf file in order to make this work for me. – braveterry Mar 04 '13 at 01:55
  • This resulted in proxy-html running twice for me, resulting in url maps for / adding the app path twice - for me the answer was SetOutputFilter INFLATE;DEFLATE - as per http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies "note that ProxyHTMLEnable correctly inserts the proxy-html filter between INFLATE and DEFLATE" – JosephH Aug 14 '20 at 17:52

Try disabling mod_deflate in your Apache configuration.

  • That would do. However, I make SetOutputFilter INFLATE;proxy-html;DEFLATE and it worked. – manu Apr 11 '11 at 19:00

Use This:

ProxyHTMLCharsetOut *

*ProxyHTMLCharsetOut Syntax ProxyHTMLCharsetOut name This selects an encoding for mod_proxy_html output. It should not normally be used, as any change from the default UTF-8 (Unicode - as used internally by libxml2) will impose an additional processing overhead. The special token ProxyHTMLCharsetOut * will generate output using the same encoding as the input.*
