我们知道 mod_gzip 是用来在服务器端把客户请求的内容压缩后发送给客户端的一个 Apache 模块。本站的 Zope 通过 FastCGI 来实现和 Apache 的结合,Apache 是解析 HTML 页面的服务程序。安装好 mod_gzip 后就即能压缩普通静态页面也能压缩 Zope 文档。 
一、安装 
http://www.hyperspacecommunications.com/products/mod_gzip.html 
页面上有 mod_gzip 的二进制码版本和源码下载。如果你使用前者的话,直接把文件拷贝到 Apache Home 的 libexec 目录下就可以了。下载 mod_gzip.c 后,如果你的 Apache 用 DSO 模式安装的话,用下面简单的命令就可以安装了: 
# /www/bin/apxs -i -a -c mod_gzip.c 
二、配置 
安装完毕以后把下列配置加入 httpd.conf : 
# mod_gzip 配置 
LoadModule gzip_module libexec/mod_gzip.so 
AddModule mod_gzip.c 
mod_gzip_on Yes 
mod_gzip_minimum_file_size 1002 
mod_gzip_maximum_file_size 0 
mod_gzip_maximum_inmem_size 60000 
mod_gzip_item_include mime ""application/x-httpd-php"" 
mod_gzip_item_include mime ""text/*"" 
# 压缩 Zope 的内容: 
mod_gzip_item_include file ""[^.]*$"" 
mod_gzip_item_include mime ""httpd/unix-directory"" 
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes 
mod_gzip_temp_dir ""/tmp"" 
mod_gzip_keep_workfiles No 
mod_gzip_item_include file "".php$"" 
mod_gzip_item_include file "".txt$"" 
mod_gzip_item_include file "".html$"" 
mod_gzip_item_exclude file "".css$"" 
mod_gzip_item_exclude file "".js$"" 
并添加下面的行: 
LogFormat ""%h %l %u %t ""%r"" %>s %b ""%{Referer}i"" ""%{User-Agent}i"" mod_gzip: %{mod_gzip_compression_ratio}npct."" mod_gzip 
把对应虚拟主机配置中的日志文件参数修改为 mod_gzip 
三、压缩效果 
这样,我们得到类似以下的日志文件: 
61.169.41.13 - - [02/Mar/2002:01:24:29 -0500] ""GET /pipermail/freelamp/2002-March/000026.html HTTP/1.1"" 200 72848 ""http://www.freelamp.com/pipermail/freelamp/2002-March/subject.html"" ""Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461; NetCaptor 6.5.0)"" mod_gzip: 54pct.

我们看到 mod_gzip 已经对 .html 和那些没有点的文件作了压缩,压缩率达到了 70-80%。但是,mod_gzip 对图片文件不作压缩。 
四、总结 
结合,mod_gzip 和缓冲工具等,我们完全可以使一台配置较低的 PC 有足够的能力处理各种 HTML/CGI 等的请求。
