Using mod_deflate which is shipped by default appears to work. For example, on an Ubuntu box that's handy, I linked deflate from /etc/apache2/mods-available to mods-enabled. With no other changes, all the HTML pages are compressed.

This only applies if you're going through the proxy. At this time, we aren't shipping a mod_deflate for use with the apache that's actually running FogBugz.

For right now, we don't support compression. The apache we're shipping doesn't include mod_gzip or deflate.

Somebody could configure the system apache I think, provided they have the modules installed, but we haven't gone down this road yet.

Using the proxy server with the compression settings I got from http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_deflate.html did not work, but I just changed it to the following and it's working well now. (These settings worked fine with the FogBugz v6.)

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript
