Revision history for Perl extension Apache::Compress

1.005 Wed Nov 17 13:59:58 CST 2004

• Fixed the documentation by adding a 'SetHandler perl-script' line to each example. [Andy Lester]

1.004 Sun Apr 18 21:37:16 CDT 2004

• Added the 'CompressDecision' configuration variable to control how the decision to compress is made. Rudimentary support for user-agent sniffing is available.
• I think print() was buffering very short documents so they wouldn't ever be output. $r->print() seems to work better.
• Squelched a couple of warnings about undefined values. [Spotted by Dave Rolsky]
• Added a Build.PL script that users can use instead of Makefile.PL if they want. Not surprisingly, it's a lot cleaner than the Makefile.PL.
• Fixed some quoting problems when reading the user's existing httpd.conf for testing purposes.
• The regression tests now use Test.pm.

1.003 date: 2000/11/05 05:36:46

• Updated code to work with Apache::Filter 1.013 and greater. If you're using Apache::Filter 1.012 or lower, you must use 2.14 or lower of Apache::Compress. If you don't use Apache::Filter, you don't need to care.
• Added Compress::Zlib to the PREREQ_PM list in Makefile.PL.

1.002 date: 2000/08/22 05:30:11

• First release on CPAN. Rewrote code to be a bit cleaner. Changed name from Apache::Gzip to Apache::Compress, because Apache::Gzip is taken by a sample module in the Eagle book.
• Wrote some bare-bones documentation, but it probably needs more.

1.001 date: 2000/05/31 01:43:20

• First revision, never released. Based on code that Geoffrey Young and Philippe Chiasson were working on a while back, but abandoned. They based theirs on Apache::GzipChain.
