- The new home page of the `mod_gzip` project from version 1.3.19.2a on
- My patch for `mod_gzip` 1.3.19.1a => 1.3.19.1b to send a `Vary:` header together with compressed data (or else proxy servers could not identify this response as the result of a conditional compression, i. e. a negotiation) (this is covered by version 1.3.19.2a)
- A port of `mod_gzip` 1.3.19.1a for OS/2
- The old home page for the `mod_gzip` project at Remote Communications Inc.
