So this is just a question about the change in .htaccess that was announced for Joomla 4.2.9

In .htaccess
change from OLD
Header append Content-Encoding gzip
to NEW
Header set Content-Encoding gzip

On my test site I now have J 4.2.9

I also updated AT to v7.3.1. Then I created a new .htaccess with this new AdminTools version.

When I check in the newly created .htaccess I still find "Header append Content-Encoding gzip".

So my question is if this is intentional or not. Should I manually change it to "Header set Content-Encoding gzip" or should I leave it as "Header append Content-Encoding gzip", please?

Thank you so much Nicholas!

Yes, it actually says so too in the Post installation message (...This could result in double encoding errors when Joomla is installed in a subdirectory and both this directory and its parent directory contain an .htaccess file with this code...) but somehow I don't feel 100% sure unless you've said it too 😊
