mod_deflate (NAS) 0.1.0 released
Apache module for online compression of files delivered by Apache. Speeds up Frontview and other web apps running on the ReadyNAS.
With mod_deflate, the Apache web server on the ReadyNAS is able to compress content sent to clients in real time. This saves bandwith and thereby speeds up content delivery, which turn makes for a reception on the users side. Due to CPU constraints on the Sparc-based ReadyNAS line, compression levels are set quite conservative so to not stress the CPU too much when delivering a lot of content.
Note: In addition to mod_deflate, this addon also installs mod_info which is neede to determine the state of mod_deflate (active/inactive) at runtime.
