Topic: Does mod_pagespeed fix HTML errors?

[csdude55]

My sites are mostly UGC, and I also cURL some RSS feeds. So every once in awhile I'll get HTML errors; some even mess up the whole page!

The most common is when a user copy and pastes something with a left or right accent inside of an anchor tag, and my system converts it to a single or double quote. That can place the entire text inside of an anchor tag with no close :-O

I hadn't seen these errors in a long time and I thought that I'd fixed it. But I recently removed mod_pagespeed because I had a ton of errors in the log from it, and now those HTML errors are back!

Was mod_pagespeed fixing them, and I didn't know?

If so, is there a more stable module that does the same thing? Or should I reinstall mod_pagespeed and just ignore the errors?

Your software should fix that, not an apache module.

An option might be mod_substitute [1]
For other backends you may use mod_proxy_html [2] it has a ProxyHTMLFixups function
