>Description:
- Using the option zlib.output_compression results in a garbled browser content because the Content-Encoding: zlib header is not sent (but the content is correctly compressed).
- Using ob_start ('ob_gzhandler') does work (=> zlib is installed right, not a browser problem)
- Adding a Header ('Content-Encoding: zlib') does work for the page itself but fails for images (phpinfo () does show text but no images)

>How-To-Repeat:
In FreeBSD 5.3
Install apache 1.3 + mod_php5 + mod_zlib and edit php.ini to set zlib.output_compression=On
>Fix:
The problem seems to be that the zlib is not build with together with the apache module. There is #ifdef HAVE_ZLIB in the main/SAPI.c that writes the Content-Encoding header.
To solve the problem I did add the line 'CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-zlib=/usr --with-zlib-dir=/usr' to the www/mod_php5/Makefile. This solves the problem (but bundles the zlib extension).
