Remove header x-accept-encoding-%s without impacting compressed plugin execution

[mirakae]

Is there any method or possible solution to remove the header x-accept-encoding-%s when the compress plugin is invoked?

x-accept-encoding-ats-ec0001-stg.01.cdp.com: gzip

I think you can try to change these lines - https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/blob/master/plugins/compress/misc.cc#L171-L174

And try to add "@" to the "x-accept-encoding-%s" header. This should make the header only visible to ATS and not to the client.

Or you can use header rewrite / lua plugin to remove the header

Actually I think removing the header may be a bad thing for someone already using the plugin.
We should probably add a configurable to hide this header.

Actually you have this header only because you have this in configuration

remove-accept-encoding true

With this option, the plugin saves the original accept-encoding in a separate header as specified in the original description of this issue. Without this line or setting it to false, the separate header will not be there.

Does this fix your problem?
