Kevin,
mod_gzip is one of the best module for Apache today, and having it
in Apache 2.0 will be really usefull. As many I'll be happy to test
it against Apache 2.0 beta, and if APIs change I'll understand and
never complain about that.
You do a great job in mod_gzip for Apache 1.3.x, please show it
under 2.0 ....
Regards
