Can I use HTTP "Content-Encoding: gzip" for Zope if I use Apache 2? (And should I use gzip content-encoding?)
The mod_gzip doesn't work with Apache 2, but instead it has mod_deflate. But mod_deflate can't chose which responses to gzip based on the MIME-type for responses that are coming through ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse. And with Zope I can't rely on extensions (like .html), just on the MIME-type. Do I think these well?
Zope can do "gzip" compression by itself.
You can activate it via
"RESPONSE.enableHTTPCompression(REQUEST)"
This activates "gzip" compression for precisely this response.
Thanks! Just on more thing... According to http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7393296&forum_id=1235... the gzip compression was enabled by default in Plone 2.0.x (only from 2.0.4 I guess), but will be disabled in 2.1. If it is true, why? Is it not recommenced after all? (Actually I try to gzip only because my predecessor did...) -- Best regards, Daniel Dekany
