Apache::AxKit::GzConfigReader - read gzipped input files

NAME

Apache::AxKit::GzConfigReader - read gzipped input files

SYNOPSIS

In httpd.conf:

    AddEncoding x-gzip gz
    AxConfigReader Apache::AxKit::GzConfigReader
    AxProvider Apache::AxKit::Provider::GzFile

DESCRIPTION

This module allows gzipped input files to be read, for example .xml.gz, .xsl.gz, and .xsp.gz.

If the Apache mod_gzip module is being used, then the ``AddEncoding x-gzip gz'' directive tells it to recognize gzipped input files when a non-gzipped input file is requested but is not available. This directive also adds the ``Content-Encoding: gzip'' HTTP header. This module, GzConfigReader, must strip out the content-encoding header unless AxGzipOutput is turned on.

This module also provides methods for determining if a file needs to be gunzipped by looking at its extension (.gz by default).
