> ...is it possible that mod_deflate works by chunks... Why are you doing this? It's not to increase client-side performance because correct me if I'm wrong here but it's been my understanding that the web browser cannot start decompressing the page until it receives the final chunk. Based on that, there's no advantage to the client in receiving a deflated page in chunks.
And regarding host-side performance: In my experience, compression happens so fast there wouldn't seem to be much performance gain on the host side by switching over to chunked but maybe I'm missing the boat? Thanks, Geoff http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_encoding "Chunked transfer encoding can be used to delimit parts of the compressed object. In this case the chunks are not individually compressed. Instead, the complete payload is compressed and the output of the compression process is chunk encoded. In the case of compression, chunked encoding has the benefit that the compression can be performed on the fly while the data is delivered, as opposed to completing the compression process beforehand to determine the final size." --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
