+<h3>Summary</h3>
+
+ <p>The <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_brotli.html">mod_brotli</a></code> module provides
+ the <code>BROTLI_COMPRESS</code> output filter that allows output from
+ your server to be compressed using the brotli compression format before being sent to the client over
+ the network. This module uses the Brotli library found at
+ <a href="https://github.com/google/brotli">https://github.com/google/brotli</a>.</p>

+ <p>Compression is implemented by the <code>BROTLI_COMPRESS</code>
+ <a href="../filter.html">filter</a>. The following directive
+ will enable compression for documents in the container where it
+ is placed:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">SetOutputFilter BROTLI_COMPRESS
+SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-brotli</pre>
+
+
+ <p>If you want to restrict the compression to particular MIME types
+ in general, you may use the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_filter.html#addoutputfilterbytype">AddOutputFilterByType</a></code> directive. Here is an example of
+ enabling compression only for the html files of the Apache
+ documentation:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;Directory "/your-server-root/manual"&gt;
+ AddOutputFilterByType BROTLI_COMPRESS text/html
+&lt;/Directory&gt;</pre>
+
+
+ <div class="note"><h3>Note</h3>
+ The <code>BROTLI_COMPRESS</code> filter is always inserted after RESOURCE
+ filters like PHP or SSI. It never touches internal subrequests.
+ </div>
+ <div class="note"><h3>Note</h3>
+ There is an environment variable <code>no-brotli</code>,
+ set via <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_env.html#setenv">SetEnv</a></code>, which
+ will disable brotli compression for a particular request, even if
+ it is supported by the client.

+<h2><a name="proxies" id="proxies">Dealing with proxy servers</a></h2>
+
+ <p>The <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_brotli.html">mod_brotli</a></code> module sends a <code>Vary:
+ Accept-Encoding</code> HTTP response header to alert proxies that
+ a cached response should be sent only to clients that send the
+ appropriate <code>Accept-Encoding</code> request header. This
+ prevents compressed content from being sent to a client that will
+ not understand it.</p>
+
+ <p>If you use some special exclusions dependent
+ on, for example, the <code>User-Agent</code> header, you must
+ manually configure an addition to the <code>Vary</code> header
+ to alert proxies of the additional restrictions. For example,
+ in a typical configuration where the addition of the <code>BROTLI_COMPRESS</code>
+ filter depends on the <code>User-Agent</code>, you should add:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Header append Vary User-Agent</pre>
+
+
+ <p>If your decision about compression depends on other information
+ than request headers (<em>e.g.</em> HTTP version), you have to set the
+ <code>Vary</code> header to the value <code>*</code>. This prevents
+ compliant proxies from caching entirely.</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Header set Vary *</pre>

+<h2><a name="precompressed" id="precompressed">Serving pre-compressed
+content</a></h2>
+
+ <p>Since <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_brotli.html">mod_brotli</a></code> re-compresses content each
+ time a request is made, some performance benefit can be derived by
+ pre-compressing the content and telling mod_brotli to serve them
+ without re-compressing them. This may be accomplished using a
+ configuration like the following:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;IfModule mod_headers.c&gt;
+ # Serve brotli compressed CSS files if they exist
+ # and the client accepts brotli.
+ RewriteCond "%{HTTP:Accept-encoding}" "br"
+ RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.br" "-s"
+ RewriteRule "^(.*)\.css" "$1\.css\.br" [QSA]
+
+ # Serve brotli compressed JS files if they exist
+ # and the client accepts brotli.
+ RewriteCond "%{HTTP:Accept-encoding}" "br"
+ RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.br" "-s"
+ RewriteRule "^(.*)\.js" "$1\.js\.br" [QSA]
+
+
+ # Serve correct content types, and prevent double compression.
+ RewriteRule "\.css\.br$" "-" [T=text/css,E=no-brotli:1]
+ RewriteRule "\.js\.br$" "-" [T=text/javascript,E=no-brotli:1]
+
+
+ &lt;FilesMatch "(\.js\.br|\.css\.br)$"&gt;
+ # Serve correct encoding type.
+ Header append Content-Encoding br
+
+ # Force proxies to cache brotli &amp;
+ # non-brotli css/js files separately.
