Hi people,

I'm not going into details here, because the website of mod_gzip
(http://www.remotecommunications.com/apache/mod_gzip/) has really a lot of
info on the topic. To summarize, most browsers can accept Content/Transfer
Encoding with gzip. This would drastically lessen bandwidth-use for servers
and speed for modem-users. Only the module mod_gzip doesn't use EAPI so it
cannot compress data send over SSL-connections (I'm no whizz with all this,
I'm just paraphrasing what is said on the mod_gzip-list). Wouldn't it be
possible for mod_ssl to check if mod_gzip is active, and if so, first pass
all the data to that module and only then encrypt it with ssl? Or something
like that, at least...

Kind regards,
Tim Stoop
