When we enabled Last-mile acceleration in the akamai configuration
some files were decompressed on the fly, becausee of akamai's
handling of content-type and content-encoding headers and how user-
agents sent these headers.
Files with the following extensions will now be served using a
compressed Content-type, instead of Content-encoding.
.gz, .tgz application/x-gzip
.Z application/compress
As part of this change, I also disabled MultiViews, which led to
problems while requesting urls. MultiViews search for similar file
names, if a file doesn't exist. This was allowing the file
merged_catalog.xml.gz to be requested as merged_catalog.xml, even
though the .xml version did not exist.
If you have any problems or questions, let me know,
