You have either a very brokenapplication or a very confused configuration. Maybe both.Although Compression is set for Apache - DEFLATE module, a few Pages which are rendered by Actuate 8 report server - don't honour them.That just doesn't make sense (maybe English isn't your first language?). What are you expecting of mod_deflate, and how is it not performing?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!!!!)mod_headers should not be necessary for this. It adds to your complexity. Bottom line: for contents that are stored compressed on the server, use AddEncoding. For contents compressed on the fly, use mod_deflate.For anything else, RTFM and tell us why you're not using standard solutions.
Hi Nick. No need to get upset.As I understand the issue now (and as stated above by the OP), mod_deflate seems to be doing fine in most cases. However, it also seems that /some/ pages which are rendered by something ("Actuate 8 report server", which I have no idea what it is) are actually compressed (?), but do /not/ come out with the correct content-encoding. From all that, I gather (now) that these specific pages are not static, but generated on-the-fly (Arabinda, is that right ?). So the question now would be : is there something (in the URI used to request such a page for example) that allows to distinguish it from other pages that do work ? And does the problem concern /all/ the pages produced by that "Actuate 8 report server", or just some of them ?
Also (for Nick), while we are at it, /why/ would it be that a content-encoding response header set unconditionally by mod_headers would not come out ?
