Actually, I wanted to mention that library to *you* Edi. What do you think about supporting gzip (and/or deflate) encoding? I was going to add it to TBNL -- the application I am working on used to be in Java and gzip encoding had an enormous (positive) impact on performance. If somebody else is already doing this then I won't worry about it.
Marc, what happens with mod_lisp if an gzip encoded body is returned? I think you must just pass it along, but that part is written in C and, well, I'd rather ask than look for myself :-)
You can pass what you want to mod_lisp as long as you give the correct content-length and headers. But If you use Apache you should better use mod_gzip. I don't think it's a good idea to try to compete with Apache for a production server. Even paserve and Areneida servers generally hide behind Apache for real production use. It's just that they do it the wrong way with mod_proxy rather than mod_lisp. ;-)
