You mis-understand. My conjecture is that SSL has nothing to do with
your problem. To prove this conjecture, I asked you to switch off SSL in
the SSL VH and then show that compression *still* works in that VH, even
with SSL off.
If you can demonstrate this, then you can forget about SSL and
concentrate on fixing the mod_gzip config problem...
