[users@httpd] apache 2.0.58 - mod_deflate & mod_disk_cache

[Vizzini Sampere <os...@gmail.com>]

I'm having trouble caching the output of mod_deflate using
mod_disk_cache.  I've found casual references to the combination
working, but I haven't found a working example of it.

After emptying the "CacheRoot" of all files and flushing the cache on
FF, I load '/demo/index.html' with FF. FF Page Info (under tools menu)
shows a size that is clearly the compressed form of index.html.
However, CacheRoot now contains
'/j5p/I7E/m1Z/uNF/9HO/RTigTcw.{data,header}', both are plain text
uncompressed.

What part(s) of the puzzle am I missing? I've also tried
'SetOutputfilter DEFLATE' instead of 'AddOutputFilterByType' with no
luck.

Any help or hints folks can provide would be greatly appreciated.
