  1. XML-RPC Turbocharger (Experimental)
  2. ===================================
  3. This a hacked copy of mod_gzip. In addition to the usual "gzip" encoding,
  4. it also handles "deflate" encoding.
  5. When used in conjuction with the xmlrpc-c client, this should reduce your
  6. outbound XML-RPC network traffic by an amazing amount--compression ratios
  7. of 10:1 and 30:1 are not unheard of. If you're clever, you should be able
  8. to use this with just about any Apache-based XML-RPC server.
  9. You can find the standard distribution of mod_gzip here:
  10. http://www.remotecommunications.com/apache/mod_gzip/
  11. The hacked distribution is installed and used in exactly the same fashion
  12. as the regular distribution. There's one extra logging directive available:
  13. %{mod_gzip_compression_format}n Compression format chosen by client.
  14. Go read the mod_gzip documentation; it should all make sense.
  15. If you want to discuss the XML-RPC Turbocharger, please sign up for the
  16. xmlrpc-c-devel mailing list at:
  17. http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/
  18. This code is highly experimental, and may do some strange things. You'll
  19. probably need to screw around with mod_gzip for a while until you get
  20. everything to work. Don't run this on your production web server, OK?

  23. P.S. The Turbocharger appears to dump core in mod_gzip decides to serialize
  24. a large response to disk. Do you see what I mean by "experimental" and
  25. "don't run this on your production web server"? :-)
