Hi Nigel,
I had the same question three month ago.
There are a few sources which compare the different modules. See
mod_perl guide.
My solution is now mod_deflate 1.0.18 with apache 1.3.27.
My configuration in httpd.conf is:
# activate compress
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
# main switch
DeflateEnable on
DeflateMinLength 1024
DeflateCompLevel 8
# compress over proxies
DeflateProxied on
# switch off MSIE 4.x - has bugs
DeflateDisableRange "MSIE 4."
# experimentell - for uploads
DeflateVary on
# DeflateHTTP 1.1 # default
# activate for HTTP 1.0
DeflateHTTP 1.0
# DeflateTypes text/html # default
# add more content types for compression
DeflateTypes text/css
DeflateTypes text/plain
DeflateTypes text/rtf
DeflateTypes text/xml
DeflateTypes text/javascript
DeflateTypes image/vnd.dwg
DeflateTypes image/vnd.dxf
DeflateTypes application/msword
DeflateTypes application/vnd.hp-HPGL
DeflateTypes application/vnd.ms-access
DeflateTypes application/vnd.ms-excel
DeflateTypes application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
DeflateTypes application/vnd.ms-project
DeflateTypes application/vnd.visio
DeflateTypes application/x-javascript
# pdf does no work
# DeflateTypes application/pdf
</IfModule>
I hope that helps you.
Regards,
Sven.
