This module lets you send the content of an HTTP response as gzip- compressed data. Certain browsers (Netscape, IE) can request content compression via the `Content-Encoding' header. This can speed things up if you're sending large files to your users through slow connections. Browsers that don't request gzipped data will receive regular noncompressed data. This module is compatibile with Apache::Filter, so you can compress the output of other content-generators.
