Mod Deflate - Some Alternatives

Some Alternatives

The mod_gzip module is similar to mod_deflate, for Apache v1 and v2.

A mod_gz module was independently developed by Ian Holsman. This module implements a gzip compression filter for Apache 2.0, providing similar functionality to mod_gzip. One important difference between the two modules is that mod_gzip includes its own gzip implementation, whereas mod_gz relies on an external zlib library.

In PHP similar effect achievable for the output of PHP scripts with:

  • the ob_gzhandler and the gzencode functions;
  • zlib.output_compression option in the php.ini file.

CherryPy offers the Gzip filter, which uses the zlib module of Python standard library.

Famous quotes containing the word alternatives:

    The last alternatives they face
    Of face, without the life to save,
    Being from all salvation weaned
    A stag charged both at heel and head:
    Who would come back is turned a fiend
    Instructed by the fiery dead.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.
    Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
