Re: Openssl/zlib support?

So, I made some research and these are my results, of course without
warranties.

mod_flate and zlib support in neon are responsible for compressing the
request/response body. Compression support in openssl/mod_ssl will
compress the whole request/response, thus header and body, thus being
more efficient. Prerequisite is the use of sslv3 between client and
server (and of course both need the compression support). If you combine
mod_deflate and mod_ssl compression you will indeed end up with the body
compressed twice.

As far as I know it seems that most openssl builds, including mod_ssl,
since 0.9.8 will link with zlib as default.
see:
http://www.mail-archive.com/openssl-users@openssl.org/msg49911.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@httpd.apache.org/msg38060.html
(But I don't know about the subversion windows build)

So I'll link with zlib (static) on my next build for mod_ssl and the svn
client.
