Im trying to get mod_deflate working for amf. I've seen acouple of post that mention this is possible. But I cannot seem to get it to work for myself.

eg. http://wadearnold.com/blog/flash/gzip-compression-is-not-part-of-amf

the compression is working for other minetypes I've added to the AddOutputFilterByType so the deflate is working correctly.

ive tried the following minetypes; application/x-amf, application-x/amf, application/amf. tho application/x-amf should be the one.

Basically just added the minetype to AddOutputFilterByType thats all? Am I missing a setting?

It looks like you've found your answer, but I just posted a solution to a similar problem on my blog yesterday - it may or may not work for you as I'm not familiar with AMF: Forcing Apache's mod_deflate module to compress JSP's from Weblogic

HTH!

That link explicitly says it (almost certainly) isn't possible, for pure protocol reasons alone.

Also the apache compression modules only compress output from static files, not other modules (without a bit of extra work).

    Thank you for the reply, I think the link explicitly says it isn't default part of AMF, anyway I got it working with Apache and mod_deflate. This was actually more to test it as there was more info on Apache then ISS, now i need it to get working on a IIS server and after some struggle I got it working with IIS 5.1 only with 3rd party software and only on IIS 5.1, not 6.0 what our production server is. arrgg getting closer tho.
