I am serving all content through apache with Content-Encoding: zip but that compresses on the fly. A good amount of my content is static files on the disk. I want to gzip the files beforehand rather than compressing them every time they are requested. This is something that, I believe, mod_gzip did in Apache 1.x automatically, but jus...
I have a client/server system that performs communication using XML transferred using HTTP requests and responses with the client using Perl's LWP and the server running Perl's CGI.pm through Apache. In addition the stream is encrypted using SSL with certificates for both the server and all clients. This system works well, except that ...
It seems redundant to have zlib compress a web page during every request. It is also the bottleneck of my files' response times. Is there a way to cache the zlib'd file so that it is compressed only once at each modification? Or should I just keep wishing? ...
Hello. I'm developing a website in PHP and I have large JS files that I want to compress. So, I added this in my .htaccess file: <FilesMatch "\.(js|css|html|htm|php|xml)$"> SetOutputFilter DEFLATE </FilesMatch> It works great on my local wamp server install but once I move the files on my shared server, the DEFLATE command does n...

EDIT I have found that the problem is actually php minify. This was sending the deflated content instead of Apache. I'll find more on this. According to High Performance Web Sites, if I enable mod_deflate in Apache 2.x, by adding the following line, it should send gzipped/delfated content: - AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text...

I enabled mod_deflate on Apache 2 on an Ubuntu machine and noticed that my browser doesn't cache the compressed file types on page refreshes. I used firebug's net settings to check this and verified on another computer. Under mod_deflate if I compress css and js files, the browser makes a request each time. If I turn off mod_deflate, t...

After enabling gzip compression in my Apache server (mod_deflate) I found consistently that end user was being served on average 200 ms slower than uncompressed responses. This was unexpected so I modified the compression directive to ONLY compress text/HTML responses, fired up wireshark and looked at the network dump before and after ...

The other CSS & JS without the "?" gets compressed. Kindly explain me how do I make apache compress this files also. Thanks ...
I am responsible for the backend portion of an API, written in PHP, which is primarily used by a Flash client. What happens right now is: the Flash client makes a call, the backend loads the necessary data, does any necessary processing and post processing, logging and caching and then returns the result to the client. What I would like...
For an application I'm developing, the user submits a gzipped HTTP POST request (content-encoding: GZIP) with multipart form data (content-type: multipart/form-data). I use mod_deflate as an input filter to decompress and the web request is processed in Django via mod_wsgi. Generally, everything is fine. But for certain requests (dete...
