Thanks for the tip. I did look at the rewrite option, but not so font of the rewrite modules, very powerful do. I wasn't aware of the mod_filer combi with mod_deflate. I like that one, very simple: FilterDeclare gzip CONTENT_SET FilterProvider gzip inflate req=Accept-Encoding !$gzip FilterChain gzip
I like the idea: mostly the browser do support gzip anyway, just for those stoneage browsers, you simple inflate the gzip just before sending it... That's better then the other way around: zipping when they support gzip (as they almost always do). BTW: I think I am going to put my static stuff in the public folder, such that I use the precompressor power and some other benefits... These aren't resusable components anyway (application endpoints), so that's ok if you ask me.. BTW: I am running in noserver mode, so I have 2 deployment deliverables: war and gzip file for Apache. So all my static stuff is located under Apache. BTW: you could cache your css file infinte just like the gwt cache files policy if you let maven add a version/build number on a new build (just like gwt does with his md5 files), such that your css files are always unique... Yahoo does this as well, and it's easy done: rename the css and replace the css link....
