    <p>The <code><a href="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>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>
    <p><strong>Most popular browsers can not handle compression of all content
        so you may want to enable the 'gzip-only-text/html' note (see below)
    </strong></p>

<blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>SetEnv gzip-only-text/html 1<br>
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</code></td></tr></table></blockquote>

    <p>Here is an example of enabling compression for the Apache
    documentation:</p>

<blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>
&lt;Directory "/your-server-root/manual"&gt;<br>
      SetEnv gzip-only-text/html 1<br>
      SetOutputFilter DEFLATE<br>
&lt;/Directory&gt;
