Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Output compression reduces the network load and can improve the overall
|
|
throughput of the webserver.
|
|
|
|
Only static content is supported up to now.
|
|
|
|
The server negotiates automaticly which compression method is used.
|
|
Supported are gzip, deflate, bzip.

Compressing Dynamic Content
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
To compress dynamic content with PHP please enable ::
|
|
|
|
zlib.output_compression = 1
|
|
|
|
in the php.ini as PHP provides compression support by itself.
