"Fossies" - the Fresh Open Source Software Archive

Member "mod_gzip-1.3.26.1a/docs/manual/english/index.htm" (30 Sep 2002, 5991 Bytes) of package /linux/www/apache_httpd_modules/old/mod_gzip-1.3.26.1a.tgz:

As a special service "Fossies" has tried to format the requested source page into HTML format using (guessed) HTML source code syntax highlighting (style: standard) with prefixed line numbers. Alternatively you can here view or download the uninterpreted source code file.

A hint: This file contains one or more very long lines, so maybe it is better readable using the pure text view mode that shows the contents as wrapped lines within the browser window.

  109 
  110 <h2><tt>mod_gzip</tt> - what's that, anyway?</h2>
  111 <p><tt>mod_gzip</tt> is an <strong>external extension module</strong> for the WWW's most popular web server <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/"><img class="linkicon" height="15" width="16" alt="arrow" title="external" src="extern.gif" />Apache</a>, created in autumn, 2000.</p>
  112 <p>Its implementation allows for using the <strong>compression method <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1952.txt"><img class="linkicon" height="15" width="16" alt="arrow" title="external" src="extern.gif" /><code>gzip</code></a></strong> for a significant reduction of the volume of web page content served over the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html"><img class="linkicon" height="15" width="16" alt="arrow" title="external" src="extern.gif" />HTTP</a> protocol.</p>
  113 <div class="new13192a"><p>Starting with version 1.3.19.2a <tt>mod_gzip</tt> has found a <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-gzip/"><img class="linkicon" height="15" width="16" alt="arrow" title="external" src="extern.gif" />new home</a>.</p></div>
  114 
  115 <h2>And what are these pages all about?</h2>
  116 <p>A <strong>documentation</strong> that would be worth this name <small>(in my eyes ;-)</small> does not <small>(yet)</small> yet exist - neither for users nor for programmers <small>(who possibly want to implement more features into this module)</small>.</p>
  117 <p>Thus I made it my goal to collect <strong>information of any kind about <tt>mod_gzip</tt></strong> and provide them in German as well as in English <small>(detecting the appropriate language from the browsers HTTP header <code>Accept-Language:</code> - so be sure to set this one in your browser configuration)</small>.</p>
  118 <div class="new13192a"><p>Especially these pages already document the changes of the version 1.3.19.2a as opposed to version <a href="http://www.remotecommunications.com/apache/mod_gzip/"><img class="linkicon" height="15" width="16" alt="arrow" title="external" src="extern.gif" />1.3.19.1a</a> <small>(possibly the last one that has been published by <a href="http://www.remotecommunications.com/"><img class="linkicon" height="15" width="16" alt="arrow" title="external" src="extern.gif" />Remote Communications Inc.</a>)</small></p></div>
  119 <div class="new13261a"><p>More modifications have been caused by the release of version 1.3.26.1a.</p></div>
