Hi everyone,
I've searched high and low but I can't find any documentation for setting up mod_gzip to work with a Zope server (ZServer) being served through Apache's mod_proxy with the ProxyPass directives.
Is this possible at the moment? Is there maybe a Zope product that handles gzipping served pages? This seems like a really good idea...
I have mod_gzip working with Apache - other VirtualHosts on the same machine that aren't proxied serve gzipped pages - but apparently mod_proxy and mod_gzip don't like to play in the same sandbox. Other people have reported success using mod_rewrite instead... Is there some sort of performance hit you sustain in this case? If not, how do you set that up? =)
HI Paul, I use mod_proxy + mod_gzip and it works great - if it weren't for the damn browsers ;-). Seriously, there can be some gotchas, but all encountered were client side problems. I use mod proxy, invoced via a rewrite rule (RewriteRule .... [P]) The only thing which might be special is mod_gzip_item_include handler proxy-server There are some examples on the mod_gzip homepage&mailing lists. cheers, oliver
