=head1 NAME
Apache::Preompress - Deliver already compressed files or decompress on the fly
=head1 SYNOPSIS
PerlModule Apache::Precompress
# Handle regular files, ie index.html.gz
# Incoming request would be index.html
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Precompress
# Handle files by given extension .gzhtml
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::Precompress
# You want to use SSI but your templates are compressed
AddHandler server-parsed .html
Options +Includes
PerlSetVar SSI 1
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module lets you send pre-compressed files as though they were
not. For those clients that do not support compressed content, the
file is de-compressed on the fly.
This module overcomes the overhead of having to compress data on the
fly by keeping the data compressed on disk at all times. The driving
force behind this approach was that I couldn't afford to upgrade my
ISP account to have more disk space. The effective savings on bandwidth
are also quite handy.
This module will not allow the file to have SSI directives parsed out.
See the to do section. If you have got SSI turned on then you simply
need to use Options -Includes inside your directives.
=head1 Note
The intent of this module is to hide the fact that the content has been
precompressed from the client. At no time should the client expect to
call a file by anything other than its normal extension. Additionally,
the content should not link to other content other than in the normal
way, ie:
Valid
and not
Invalid
=head1 TO DO
The SSI handling requires the setting of a variable as otherwise
we end up with compressed content within the middle of an uncompressed
page. We should be to tell if we are called via ssi by some other means.
Also, support for Apache::SSI would be useful.
