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 (18991979)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a womans natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
