[Mod_gzip] simple question

[Mark Hughes]

>From the excellent documentation at :

http://www.schroepl.net/projekte/mod_gzip/config.htm

# let mod_gzip perform 'partial content negotiation'?
  mod_gzip_can_negotiate        Yes
# (if this option is active and a static file is to be served in com-
#  pressed for, then mod_gzip will look for a static precompressed
#  version of this file with a defined additional extension - see next
#  directive - which would be delivered with priority. This would allow
#  for avoiding to repeatedly compress the same static file and thus
#  saving CPU time.
#  No dynamic caching of this file is provided; currently the user
#  himself is responsible for creating and updating the precompressed
#  file's content.

#  From version 1.3.19.2a mod_gzip automatically recognizes whether
#  a statically precompressed file is older than its uncompressed
#  original and in this case will serve the content of the original
#  file in uncompressed form - as to rather serve correct data than
#  outdated ones ...)

Cheers.
