Hi Nigel, I had the same question three month ago. There are a few sources which compare the different modules. See mod_perl guide.
My solution is now mod_deflate 1.0.18 with apache 1.3.27. My configuration in httpd.conf is: # activate compress <IfModule mod_deflate.c> # main switch DeflateEnable on DeflateMinLength 1024 DeflateCompLevel 8 # compress over proxies DeflateProxied on # switch off MSIE 4.x - has bugs DeflateDisableRange "MSIE 4." # experimentell - for uploads DeflateVary on # DeflateHTTP 1.1 # default # activate for HTTP 1.0 DeflateHTTP 1.0 # DeflateTypes text/html # default # add more content types for compression DeflateTypes text/css DeflateTypes text/plain DeflateTypes text/rtf DeflateTypes text/xml DeflateTypes text/javascript DeflateTypes image/vnd.dwg DeflateTypes image/vnd.dxf DeflateTypes application/msword DeflateTypes application/vnd.hp-HPGL DeflateTypes application/vnd.ms-access DeflateTypes application/vnd.ms-excel DeflateTypes application/vnd.ms-powerpoint DeflateTypes application/vnd.ms-project DeflateTypes application/vnd.visio DeflateTypes application/x-javascript # pdf does no work # DeflateTypes application/pdf </IfModule> I hope that helps you.
