[Previously posted to misc@ but this may be a problem with the mod_gzip port itself so I've reposted here.]
I have a problem with mod_gzip not compressing output from httpd My System is: OpenBSD 4.4 (GENERIC) #1021: Tue Aug 12 17:16:55 MDT 2008 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC I'm running the stock httpd however it is not chrooted httpd_flags = "-u -DSSL" # httpd -v Server version: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) I've installed mod_gzip as a package: # pkg_info mod_gzip Information for inst:mod_gzip-1.3.26.1ap2 I have copied the sample mod_gzip.conf into /var/www/conf/modules and have stopped and started apache. I've tested that mod_gzip is recognised by the server by fetching http://www.smartpoint.co.nz/mod_gzip_status which returns: mod_gzip is available... mod_gzip_version = 1.3.26.1a mod_gzip_on = Yes I'm attempting to test this from: http://www.whatsmyip.org/mod_gzip_test/ Unfortunately indicates that none of my files/traffic is being gzip'ed. In /var/www/conf/modules/mod_gzip.conf I've enabled mod_gzip_keep_workfiles Yes Minimum file-size: 500 Max: 500000 I have commented out any mod_gzip_item_exclude entries. There are no working files in /tmp. Nor are there any entries in /var/www/logs/mod_gzip.log I'm running with Virtual hosting if that makes a difference. I've even tried telnetting to port 80 to fetch a suitable text or html file and issuing an: "Accept-Encoding: gzip" command but that also fails to gzip the file. (I successfully get the uncompressed file though). Any ideas on how to debug this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Jeremy
