[apache] Unzipping files and sending only content to the client

| Hi folks,
I have some html files, which are packaged as zip files. In every zip file
is always only _one_ html file. The links in the html files point to the html
and not to the zip files.
Is it possible to have some kind of URL rewriting, so the zip file gets
unzipped and the extracted html file is shipped to the client? I don't want
to extract all zip files before starting the webserver. Is this possible
with apache 1.3.29?

Take a look at the Action directive
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mo...ons.html#action).

you might be lucky with mod_gunzip as the compression of zip and gzip
is similar, only zip is also an archiver for multi-file archives. for
single-file zips it should work.
