      When you use mod_headers to remove ETag header (like "Header unset ETag"), you can workaround the issue (preventing "304 Not Modified" response when using mod_deflate).

      When you use mod_headers to remove ETag header (like "Header unset ETag"), you can workaround the issue (preventing "304 Not Modified" response when using mod_deflate).

      In httpd 2.4, mod_deflate appends the compression method onto the end of the ETag, causing compressed and uncompressed representations to have unique ETags. Hence, using mod_deflate prevents "304 Not Modified" response.

      Please backport this commit which was incorporated in trunk. This provides DeflateAlterETag directive to control how the ETag is modified when using mod_deflate. This configuration can provide a way to mimic old 2.2.x behavior by using 'NoChange' parameter.
