[Slashcode-general] mod_gzip

[Micah Y. <yo...@ho...>]

should have followed up to the list.  He got it working.  Relevant details:

> What is the best way to compile mod_gzip into apache?

this should do it (adapted from my notes):

copy mod_gzip.c into Apache/src/modules/extra/

Apache directory:

./configure

mod_perl Directory:

perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=/home/micah/source/apache_1.3.20 DO_HTTPD=1 
USE_APACI=1 PERL_MARK_WHERE=1 EVERYTHING=1
make
make install

Apache directory:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache 
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a 
--activate-module=src/modules/extra/mod_gzip.o
make
make install




in the main httpd.conf file include all this:
=====
# Mod_gzip
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_minimum_file_size 300
mod_gzip_maximum_file_size 0
mod_gzip_maximum_inmem_size 100000
mod_gzip_item_include file \.htm$
mod_gzip_item_include file \.html$
mod_gzip_item_include file \.php$
mod_gzip_item_include file \.pl$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-httpd-php
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^httpd/unix-directory$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^perl-script$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^server-status$
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude file \.rdf$
mod_gzip_dechunk yes
mod_gzip_temp_dir /tmp
mod_gzip_keep_workfiles No
===============

and in EACH Slash <VirtualHost> include this:
==============
    mod_gzip_item_exclude reqheader Content-Type:multipart/form-data
    mod_gzip_item_exclude reqheader 
Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded
==============

The last one is all in one line.  It's necessary because there's a bug in 
POST operations under gzip and mod_perl, so they need to be disabled.
