Enabling Compression
Compression is implemented by the DEFLATE
filter. The following directive
will enable compression for documents in the container where it
is placed:
Most popular browsers can not handle compression of all content
so you may want to enable the 'gzip-only-text/html' note (see below)
SetEnv gzip-only-text/html 1
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
|
Here is an example of enabling compression for the Apache
documentation:
<Directory "/your-server-root/manual">
SetEnv gzip-only-text/html 1
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</Directory>
