Hi, Thanks. Actually I have a compelling reason to set - Content-Encoding to gzip - for performance improvement. Although Compression is set for Apache - DEFLATE module, a few Pages which are rendered by Actuate 8 report server - don't honour them. As per you - I tried - mod_headers - but unsuccessfully (Although Apache doc for mod_headers say that - these settings take effect just before it is sent over the network!!!!) So, who is changing my header? Okay, I will try see - mod_perl and install it and see what else can I do. Please guide me once you are back next week.

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 : http://perl.apache.org/ and here : http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/index.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
