Some questions about mod_deflate :

1) Why this module is not enabled by default built ?
       compression should be on to meet HTTP recommandations ?

No, that's not part of the HTTP specification per se.

I didn't agree, they are covered in rfc2616 :

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.11

2) What about a more advanced system ?

       Currently :

SetEnv gzip-only-text/html 1

-> make mod_deflate compress only text/html.

You should take a look at the AddOutputFilterByType and AddOutputFilter directives. Those allow the same functionality as your patch without introducing any redundant directives. -- justin

Ok, I'll take a look, thanks.

BTW, I'll next check if mod_deflate works in conjunction with mod_jk/mod_jk2 (where I'm commiter).
