Comments on: Apache Mod_Deflate and Flash SWF Files Don’t Like Each Other http://www.philchen.com/2009/08/04/apache-mod_deflate-and-flash-swf-files-dont-like-each-other Phil Chen Sun, 22 Jan 2012 06:08:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: John Richter http://www.philchen.com/2009/08/04/apache-mod_deflate-and-flash-swf-files-dont-like-each-other/comment-page-1#comment-6173 John Richter Fri, 22 Apr 2011 19:31:51 +0000 http://www.philchen.com/?p=550#comment-6173 I just talked with my hosting company and they do not seem to be willing to change the http.conf file because it affects every single account they have (gee, so they want ALL of their customers to have a problem?!) They said that a change could be made with an .htaccess file, but have no info on how to make that happen. I'm not a programmer. If anyone has any suggestions that would be awesome.

I just have never done it that way. Part of the reason I like to have root on a dedicated server, so that I can have a more custom apache build.

I've been experiencing this issue with preloading Adobe Captivate e-learning lessons (SWFs). There is a huge latency before the file begins playing, no matter what you set the preloader percentage to. However, in my case I do not have access to the Apache server HTTP.conf file to alter the settings across the server because I'm using a hosting service. Is there a way you know of to add similar exclusions to a .htaccess file on my website so that mod_deflate ignores flash SWF files? Thanks for this info.

I spent four days debugging until I finally realized what was going on. I'm surprised this isn't documented more, your's is only one of two sites I could find that even mention it.
