Compression in SSL

Hello,

In mod_ssl I can not see any option to enable compression.
It's posible to enable compression in SSL or
mod_deflate made it before?

Hi,

if you are using Apache 2 you should be fine with mod_deflate. Test
your site with the firefox plugin "LiveHttpHeaders"; the header info
"Content-Encoding=gzip" means your listener delivers compressed content.

If you are using Apache 1.3, follow the steps from the mini howto at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modgzip&m=10305681341 7250&w=2.
In short terms, set up two vhosts: one hidden only compressing with
mod_gzip, the other public one with ssl which is proxying the content
from the first one.

Hope that helps,
Eckard
