[PATCH] mod_deflate extensions

[Henri Gomez <hg...@apache.org>]

Some questions about mod_deflate :

1) Why this module is not enabled by default built ?
      compression should be on to meet HTTP recommandations ?

2) What about a more advanced system ?

      Currently :

SetEnv gzip-only-text/html 1

-> make mod_deflate compress only text/html.

      Extension :

SetEnv gzip-mime-xxxx/yyyy allow

-> make mod_deflate compress content matching xxxx/yyyy.

SetEnv gzip-mime-xxxx/yyyy  deny

-> make mod_deflate don't compress content matching xxxx/yyyy.

SetEnv gzip-file-jsp allow

-> make mod_deflate compress content caming from jsp

SetEnv gzip-file-js deny

-> make mod_deflate don't compress content caming for javascript

<Directory "/your-server-root/manual">
SetEnv gzip-mime-text/html allow
SetEnv gzip-mime-text/xml allow
SetEnv gzip-mime-text/plain allow
SetEnv gzip-mime-default deny
SetEnv gzip-file-jsp allow
SetEnv gzip-file-js deny
SetEnv gzip-file-default deny
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</Directory>


Attached is a patch ...

Thanks for your feedback

asking for trouble w.r.t. the build unless we package the zlib code
ourselves and built it ourself in some consistent way

--enable-deflate=shared simply does not work across a large number of
systems
