You are right, there are some known issues about M$IE, which sometimes drops first 2K bytes, when the user "refreshes" content over SSL. The way to work around is the same for all compression approaches: just place 2K blank spaces in the beginning of every your web page (fortunately, they will be compressed very effectively). > I've checked out Apache::DynaGzip and it looks like what I need - > but I'm interested in what other SSL+Compression combinations work best > with mod_perl? There are no compression features for SSL on server side. Just the encryption should be done over the (dynamically) compressed file/stream. Apache::Dynagzip could be really helpful if you use mod_perl-enabled Apache to generate content on-the-fly (see Web Content Compression FAQ, attached in M$ Word format). > Here is a url that discusses compression options: > > http://www.innerjoin.org/apache-compression/ I like it.
