when you drop the web server throughput by x% factor you may make yourself sad :) > So adding mod_deflate to the default distribution, under control of > configure which will verify if zlib is available on the system to enable > it, shouldn't hurt. I wish it were so simple as finding a zlib, but static zlib distributed with some OSs vs dynamic zlib distributed with others seems to be the difference between success and failure. > More users will use mod_deflate, more chance to see remaining bugs > discovered and fixed. I definitely agree that it would be nice to turn on mod_deflate in the build automagically, I just don't want to do it at the expense of more problems encountered by users. I suspect that we would need to ship a subset of zlib ourselves in order to have a fool-proof build of it. -- Jeff Trawick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Born in Roswell... married an alien...
