It looks at the Content-Encoding header, and won't compress anything that's already compressed. If it's compressed by some method that isn't declared in HTTP, then mod_deflate won't know about it, and will try to compress it, unless you find other means to tell it not to compress. -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.prenhallprofessional.com/title/0132409674 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
