<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>The <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code> module provides
the <code>DEFLATE</code> output filter that allows output from
your server to be compressed before being sent to the client over
the network.</p>

<p>The <code>gzip</code> encoding is the only one supported to ensure complete compatibility

please check the <a href="https://zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq39">zlib's documentation</a>
for a complete explanation.

<h3><a name="output" id="output">Output Compression</a></h3>
<p>Compression is implemented by the <code>DEFLATE</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 DEFLATE
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI "\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$" no-gzip</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"><Directory "/your-server-root/manual">
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html
</Directory></pre>
<div class="note"><h3>Note</h3>
The <code>DEFLATE</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>force-gzip</code>,
set via <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_env.html#setenv">SetEnv</a></code>, which
will ignore the accept-encoding setting of your browser and will
send compressed output.
</div>
<h3><a name="inflate" id="inflate">Output Decompression</a></h3>
<p>The <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code> module also provides a filter for
inflating/uncompressing a gzip compressed response body. In order to activate
this feature you have to insert the <code>INFLATE</code> filter into
the output filter chain using <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#setoutputfilter">SetOutputFilter</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html#addoutputfilter">AddOutputFilter</a></code>, for example:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><Location "/dav-area">
ProxyPass "http://example.com/"
SetOutputFilter INFLATE
</Location></pre>
<p>This Example will uncompress gzip'ed output from example.com, so other
filters can do further processing with it.
</p>
<h3><a name="input" id="input">Input Decompression</a></h3>
<p>The <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code> module also provides a filter for
decompressing a gzip compressed request body . In order to activate
this feature you have to insert the <code>DEFLATE</code> filter into
the input filter chain using <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#setinputfilter">SetInputFilter</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html#addinputfilter">AddInputFilter</a></code>, for example:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><Location "/dav-area">
SetInputFilter DEFLATE
</Location></pre>
<p>Now if a request contains a <code>Content-Encoding:
gzip</code> header, the body will be automatically decompressed.
Few browsers have the ability to gzip request bodies. However,
some special applications actually do support request
compression, for instance some <a href="http://www.webdav.org">WebDAV</a> clients.</p>
<div class="warning"><h3>Note on Content-Length</h3>
<p>If you evaluate the request body yourself, <em>don't trust
the <code>Content-Length</code> header!</em>
The Content-Length header reflects the length of the
incoming data from the client and <em>not</em> the byte count of
the decompressed data stream.</p>

</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="proxies" id="proxies">Dealing with proxy servers</a></h2>
<p>The <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</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>DEFLATE</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>

<div class="section">
<h2><a name="precompressed" id="precompressed">Serving pre-compressed
content</a></h2>
<p>Since <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code> re-compresses content each
time a request is made, some performance benefit can be derived by
pre-compressing the content and telling <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code> to serve them
without re-compressing them. This may be accomplished using a
configuration like the following:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><IfModule mod_headers.c>
# Serve gzip compressed CSS and JS files if they exist
# and the client accepts gzip.
RewriteCond "%{HTTP:Accept-encoding}" "gzip"
RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.gz" -s
RewriteRule "^(.*)\.(css|js)" "$1\.$2\.gz" [QSA]
# Serve correct content types, and prevent mod_deflate double gzip.
RewriteRule "\.css\.gz$" "-" [T=text/css,E=no-gzip:1]
RewriteRule "\.js\.gz$" "-" [T=text/javascript,E=no-gzip:1]
<FilesMatch "(\.js\.gz|\.css\.gz)$">
# Serve correct encoding type.
Header append Content-Encoding gzip
# Force proxies to cache gzipped &
# non-gzipped css/js files separately.
Header append Vary Accept-Encoding
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule></pre>

<p>The <code class="directive">DeflateBufferSize</code> directive specifies
the size in bytes of the fragments that zlib should compress at one
time. If the compressed response size is bigger than the one specified
by this directive then httpd will switch to chunked encoding
(HTTP header <code>Transfer-Encoding</code> set to <code>Chunked</code>), with the
side effect of not setting any <code>Content-Length</code> HTTP header. This is particularly
important when httpd works behind reverse caching proxies or when httpd is configured with
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache.html">mod_cache</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cache_disk.html">mod_cache_disk</a></code> because
HTTP responses without any <code>Content-Length</code> header might not be cached.

<p>The <code class="directive">DeflateCompressionLevel</code> directive specifies

the better the compression, but the more CPU time is required to
achieve this.</p>
<p>The value must between 1 (less compression) and 9 (more compression).</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">DeflateFilterNote</code> directive
specifies that a note about compression ratios should be attached
to the request. The name of the note is the value specified for
the directive. You can use that note for statistical purposes by
adding the value to your <a href="../logs.html#accesslog">access log</a>.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">DeflateFilterNote ratio
LogFormat '"%r" %b (%{ratio}n) "%{User-agent}i"' deflate
CustomLog "logs/deflate_log" deflate</pre>
</div>
<p>If you want to extract more accurate values from your logs, you
can use the <var>type</var> argument to specify the type of data
left as a note for logging. <var>type</var> can be one of:</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>Input</code></dt>
<dd>Store the byte count of the filter's input stream in the note.</dd>
<dt><code>Output</code></dt>
<dd>Store the byte count of the filter's output stream in the note.</dd>
<dt><code>Ratio</code></dt>
<dd>Store the compression ratio (<code>output/input * 100</code>)
in the note. This is the default, if the <var>type</var> argument
is omitted.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Thus you may log it this way:</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Accurate Logging</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">DeflateFilterNote Input instream
DeflateFilterNote Output outstream
DeflateFilterNote Ratio ratio
LogFormat '"%r" %{outstream}n/%{instream}n (%{ratio}n%%)' deflate
