RE: [PATCH] Add mod_gz to httpd-2.0

[Sander Striker]

Hi,

>From what I have seen on the list I am on the +1 side of
adding mod_gz(ip) to the distribution.  Ofcourse, my vote
doesn't count since I don't have httpd commit.

I find the following arguments convincing (summarized):

 - The gzip content encoding is part of the HTTP spec.
 - Most clients support gzip transfer coding.
 - It is a real solution to the problem of network bandwidth
   being the limiting factor on many heavily-loaded web servers
   and on thin-piped clients.
 - It makes the compression transparent to the admin of the
   site and allows for dynamically generated content (which
   can grow quite large) to be compressed aswell.

I haven't seen anything that held on the negative side yet.
