    copied!<p>How could I create a simple content handler for apache .gz gzip content. I want it to uncompress say <a href="http://localhost/doc/FAQ/Linux-FAQ.gz" rel="nofollow">http://localhost/doc/FAQ/Linux-FAQ.gz</a> and send it to the browser as plain text. There is a lot of documentation for Linux in /usr/share/doc and localhost/doc/. I don't want to use zless, zcat or vim to read the content. I use apache to browse the documentation on my local machine and have my web browser revive it as standard text so that it does not ask me to download the *.gz file every time. </p> <pre><code>Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/" Alias local.doc "/usr/share/doc/" &lt;Directory "/usr/share/doc/"&gt; Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128 &lt;/Directory&gt; </code></pre> <p>But Now I want all those .gz file under /usr/share/doc/ to be servered as plain text. I think I could do that very simply with a python script in cgi-bin. I am looking for a nice content handler for those files. Like the way it php files are handled .gz should be uncompressed and sent to the browser. </p> <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_php5.c&gt; AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps &lt;/IfModule&gt; LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so </code></pre> <p>I see there is a mod_deflate, how would this apply. Could this handle the gzip content. </p> <p>It would make browsing documentation so much easier. Any programing resources to help here would be nice. </p>
