Hello
I'm trying to get some clarification about gzip vs deflate on Apache.
We have a network device that will handle the gzip or deflate
compression methods. If I send in a GET request with
Accept-Encoding: gzip
I get back a compressed response with:
server: Apache/2.0.46,(Unix),mod_gzip/2.0.26.1a
However, if I specify "deflate" I don't get back a compressed response.
My httpd.conf file contains:
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
The mod_gzip params in the file don't seem to have any affect though
they are recoginized.
Can someone tell me how this all fits together! We sould like Apache to
be able to compress with both algorithms for our testing.
Many thanks in advance.
