Is it possible to make Apache to treat zip files and other archive files as directories in some certain directories?

  • You could fuse-mount the archive, but what are you trying to achieve? Making Apache read data from an archive will not automatically compress the outgoing data.

  • @KenSharp I'm just seeking for a way to conveniently upload files. It's not for productive usage, so performance does not matter here.

There seems to be this older apache module (no idea if it still works with current apache versions): http://modzipread.sourceforge.net/

Is using PHP an option? PHP includes a library for opening ZIP files by default: http://php.net/manual/en/book.zip.php I'm sure that there are several sample zip browsers floating around
