What configuration is responsible for a working deflate / gzip?

I had a look in my (standard configurated) httpd.conf on my Apache 2.2 webserver and I was not able to identify what configuration is responsibly that gzip compression is working fine?

I searched for keywords like DEFLATE, AddOutputFilterByType or mod_deflate. But none of these keywords are in my httpd.conf.

Can anyone tell me, why compression works fine with the standard configuration? What configuration line is responsible for that?

Solution

  • I found the solution: A mod_deflate code in my .htaccess file in a subdirectory on my WordPress blog (Plugin WPSuperCache and Autoptimize) were responsible for the working gzip compression.
