This is a fresh version of Apache::Dynagzip companion for fixup stage of Apache. It is recommended for all users of Apache::Dynagzip. Of-course, it could accomplish any other compression handler on mod_perl enabled Apache-1.3.X as well. It is not bundled with Apache::Dynagzip in fact.
This handler is significantly different to the version 0.01 which we discussed about half a year ago. The most of the "buggy" clients mentioned those days finally walked away after my deeper research. There are no article "Features of Content Compression for Different Web Clients" anymore. Just there are nothing to write about... To the best of my knowledge, we have only one definitely buggy client on market these days: Netscape-4.X (is still alive): # From: Michael.Schroepl@somewhere # To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 20:05:06 +0200 # # (snipped) # # ... Our customers still include 17% Netscape 4 users, sigh ... # There are still some uncertainties about M$IE in my understanding, but since Microsoft fixed the compression bug in M$IE-6.0 SP-1 I have no fresh complains about it. So far, I made the relations with M$IE better configurable from httpd.conf only if you prefer to provide uncompressed content over SSL. However, it is not necessary (for Apache::Dynagzip 0.09 at least) since Vlad Jebelev reported successful delivery of the compressed content to M$IE over SSL providing dynamic downgrade from HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/1.0. See POD for details. The uploaded file Apache-CompressClientFixup-0.05.tar.gz has entered CPAN as file: $CPAN/authors/id/S/SL/SLAVA/Apache-CompressClientFixup-0.05.tar.gz size: 5107 bytes md5: cb93f7b4364b16bf026a044494df0d70 Thanks, Slava
