Re: Employing mod_deflate Apache module



I have been using http://www.webpagetest.org/ to test page load performance issues and I thoroughly recommend it. I now need to get the main html pages served up by our WO app to be deflated. I am not using Wonder so want to use apache to do this.

My deployment is on Amazon Linux and I don't have any file like .../WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf that I can find. All config is in httpd.conf for Apache 2.2. The usual attempts to deflate by file type or by embedded header Content-Type doesn't work, as others found below.

Is there a way I can tell the WO adaptor specifically to deflate it's output? Or is there a file I can create to add the "SetOutputFilter DEFLATE" line to that will be read by the WO adaptor (which is in /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_WebObjects.so).

Many thanks,
John
