+ * mod_mime_magic: For compressed content the module sets the
+   content encoding header and also tries to determine the
+   uncompressed content type by using an external gzip.
+   Several bugs break this functionality:
+   - Starting gzip doesn't work because an invalid working
+     directory is used and neither the full path name for gzip
+     nor the PATH variable is used.
+   - When gzip works, but cannot detect the content type, then
+     content encoding is also not set.
+   - Too few bytes are uncompressed so often the content type
+     can not be determined.
+   Patches in trunk (separated to make review easier):
+     http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=756671&view=rev (working dir)
+     http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=756675&view=rev (use PATH)
+     http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=756678&view=rev (content encoding)
+     http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=756683&view=rev (read more bytes)
+   Those patches apply to 2.2.x as well.
