Antwort: [Mod_gzip] quick question

[mod_gzip@lists.over.net]

Hi Matt,


> I am trying to upgrade to apache-2.0.4x and am having problems compiling
1.3.19

Apache 2 is a totally different product. New architecture, new APIs.
Nothing works like it did before - especially not any module for
Apache 1.3. They have to be adapted to the new architecture, which
in mod_gzip's terms may mean something close to a total rewrite,
because large parts of the code are very dependent on the Apache
1.3 structure and even workarounds for Apache 1.3 specific problems.

> Is there a version for apache-2x?

This depends upon what you mean by this term.
- No, there is nothing like mod_gzip 1.3.26.1a for Apache 2.0.
- Yes, some very ancient mod_gzip version is available for Apache 2.0
  somewhere in the WWW (mod_gzip has been developed for early Apache
  2.0 APIs and then back-ported to Apache 1.3) but this has not very
  much in common with the 1.3 version which has a lot of additional
  features now.
Apache 2.0 is shipping some mod_deflate in the "experimental" direc-
tory, but again this has not very much in common with mod_gzip 1.3.
