Package: libnginx-mod-http-brotli-static
Version: 1.0.0~rc-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Installed package and enabled following configuration.

brotli_static on;

# brotli off;
# brotli_types
#   application/xhtml+xml
#   application/xml
#   image/svg+xml
#   text/css
#   text/javascript
#   text/plain
#   ;

   * What was the outcome of this action?

brotli compressed files properly served with the header Vary: Accept-Encoding". 
However, all other files that are not compressed also have this header set with 
the same value.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Module should only set Vary for brotli compressed files.

This is a known issue:

https://github.com/google/ngx_brotli/issues/97

And there is patch available:

https://github.com/google/ngx_brotli/pull/98

Please consider applying to the Debian release. Without this fix, the module is 
essentially useless.
