mod_deflate (HTTP compression)

2006-06-27, 1:29 pm

I am using Websphere 6.0.2.3 and I need the server to compress HTML responses
using gzip and set this response header:

Content-Encoding: gzip

I have 30 WAR's and I don't want to configure a servlet filter in each WAR.

One alternative to servlet filters is to use mod_deflate module
in the HTTP server.

Is anybody using mod_deflate in IBM HTTP Server 6.0.x ?

Can I use mod_deflate with SSL?
