Question on Apache::Compress
Hi,
This is in regards to Ken Williams' Apache::Compress module (announced
here on August 22).
I've installed it, along with zlib, Compress::Zlib, and Apache::Filter,
and am having a couple of issues getting it running -- wondering if anyone
has any clues.
perl is version 5.004_04, apache is 1.3.6, mod_perl is a dev snapshot from
February 4 of this year (1.21 something), with one local bug fix. Yes, I
know all of those are out of date, to varying degrees :-) We've had some
of apache stability issues at my company, and sometimes we've downgraded,
or avoided upgrading, to avoid whack-a-mole bug stomping. mod_perl was
compiled with EVERYTHING=1.
For perl, we have:
PerlModule Apache::Filter
<Location /exe>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlSetVar Filter on
# the following line is what used to be here, and worked great,
# but we're changing it to put compression in.
# PerlHandler Apache::Registry
PerlHandler Apache::RegistryFilter Apache::Compress
PerlFixupHandler Apache::SizeLimit
PerlSendHeader On
...
And for static pages, we have:
PerlModule Apache::Compress
<Directory /usr/local/htdocs>
Options Includes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
Header set Pragma no-cache
PerlHandler Apache::Compress
...
Perl scripts compress perfectly, except come through as text/plain
instead of text/html.
Static .html files aren't compressed at all (but do come through as
text/html).
Any clues?
Thanks!
