From IRC conversation with Leonard today:

- the apache bug has not been fixed. our version of mod_compress still modifies etags on the way out but not on the way in

- [...] we should not yet turn mod_compress back on in the api vhost

- https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39727#c31 has roy fielding explaining why the "just strip off -gzip on the way in" fix doesn't work, and that's probably why the fix was never applied

- roy says "The best solution is to implement transfer-encoding as an http protocol filter module", so that intermediaries can understand it and pass it along

We'll discuss next steps soon. They are not clear yet.
