Deflate zlib vs. Gzip compression on apache ... how to enable.

I've read on a couple of blogs, notably here http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2008/10/youre-reading-the-worlds-most-dangerous-programming-blog.html there are some advantages to using deflate zlib compression by comparisson to gzip one.

I am trying to setup apache to only do deflate so I can run some tests. However, I am having difficulty finding to configure mod_deflate to only do deflate and not gzip.

Does anyone know the write configuration parameters.

-- Thank you.

A: 

It's not possible. Apache2's mod_deflate (confusingly) only supports the gzip format.
