  • Hi,
    This is a great article. Thanks.
    You have a mastery over the subject.
    Please help me with an issue I have.

    I have set - mod_deflate on Apache 2.x I have.
    And a dynamic content (Actuate report - in Dynamic HTML) is - gzip - encoded while received by the client browser.
    I am using Internet Explorer 7.x.

    However IE7 is not unzipping it.
    It recognizes that the MIME Type - application/x-gzip-compressed.
    But it says - it is not a recognized Mime Type and opens a window to 'save' the page.

    Any help will will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

  • This is not good. It sounds as though you have your docs already compressed using GZIP. mod_deflate is designed to do this on the fly as content is generated.

    When HTML content is compressed using mod_deflate, it should maintain the text/html MIM-type.
