URL Mapping - ApacheCon 2005
Content Negotiation - Document encoding
  • Encoding is usually compression or encryption

  • Any translation provided for transmission. UUEncode, for example.

  • Browser can also select a preferred encoding scheme - get the gzipped version, for example

    
    AddEncoding x-gzip .gz
    		  

  • The resource index.html might automatically negotiate to index.html.gz so that you receive the compressed version for faster download

  • mod_gzip and mod_deflate use your browsers Accept-Encding header to determine if you understand compressed content.
