Hi, Thanks for the more detailed reply. Yes, I think that Content-Encoding may be of a category of "Content-Type". So, it will be useful for me at lease try the mod_perl once. So, could you please let me know - what all you did? Steps for using mod_perl? And your sample code where you are setting "Content-Type" to the type you want.
I will not have the time this week anymore. Next week is better. Just this for now :If you have no prior exposure to mod_perl : mod_perl is a very powerful piece of software, allowing one to really do interesting things with Apache, things you could not do with anything else apart from writing your own Apache add-on modules in C. I personally love it and use it on all my servers. But there are implications :
- it has a learning curve (perl, for instance) - it can be heavy on the server (memory)- it may or may not be easy to install, depending on the platform (and I don't know about AIX).
So, if mod_perl is not yet installed on your machine (*), and before you go in that direction : - really make sure first that you have the problem well-understood, and that the other alternatives do not work - find out what is needed to install perl and mod_perl on your AIX machine (for example, if there exists some standard package under the AIX package manager)
(*) the first line in the Apache error log after restarting Apache, will tell you so. If mod_perl is installed, it will show up like this :
Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) DAV/2 SVN/1.4.2 mod_jk/1.2.18 PHP/4.4.4-8+etch4 mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8c mod_perl/2.0.2 Perl/v5.8.8 configured -- resuming normal operations
In other words, if modifying this Content-encoding response header is all you ever want to do with mod_perl, I am not sure that I would recommend installing mod_perl just for that. Unless it is a really critical issue, and you have really no solution with standard Apache modules.
If after all the above, you decide to persist, then I will gladly try to help you, because I cannot resist trying to convince someone else of the beauties of mod_perl. But I will not be able to do that before next week. In the meantime then, install perl and mod_perl, and start reading the documentation, here :
