HI Bill, mod_gzip gave me a lot of grief when I used it - spurious errors kept filling the log and it didn't work easily with SSL. I spent a day trying to configure a nasty proxy solution. Apache::DynaGZIP has been much less hassle to install and run and it works with SSL.

1. Are you using any Cascaded Stile Sheets and/of JavaScript libraries linked to your main web pages? I'm not, but... I think mod_defalte's hook is after all that is processed, so it's not especially relevant. 2. If yes, how do you turn compression off for those files in case of Netscape-4
