FYI - I haven't dug into the theory, but I'd presumed a possible race and certainly suboptimal behavior if you go with OpenSSL's 'zlib-dynamic' win32 implementation (actually any zlib-dynamic for a server application, no matter which platform). The optimal behavior is to enable-zlib to openssl so it's simply present upon first-use of compressed TLS streams. This is how I've configured openssl-0.9.8. If you were to link static to both openssl and mod_deflate on win32, of course that also works (and is also a redundancy ;-) Bill
