Hello It could be usefull to have the possibility to enable easyly mod_deflate in apache2 (like mod_ssl). I've produce a small patch to do this (gentoo in mind). The file is : /etc/apache2/modules.d/01_mod_deflate.conf <IfDefine GZIP> # Load the module first <IfModule !mod_deflate.c> LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so </IfModule> <ifModule mod_deflate.c> AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/javascript application/x-javascript text/xml text/css BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary DeflateCompressionLevel 9 DeflateFilterNote ratio DeflateFilterNote Input instream DeflateFilterNote Output outstream LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" mod_deflate: In:%{instream}n Out:%{outstream}n:%{ratio}npct." combined_deflate </IfModule> </IfDefine> Please, note that the logformat is especially used to work with awstats. You may also rename the define GZIP to DEFLATE. And then place it in /etc/conf.d/apache2. Feel free to contact me. Thanks
very useful, thanks! i use this for apache 2.0 (stable)
we try to stay to upstream config as close as possible, which does not include a default defalte config
