Alternative to .htaccess compression with Boost My hosting provider doesn't support mod_deflate directives in .htaccess to provide compressed HTTP responses.

I am using Drupal 7 with Boost and wish to compress HTML, CSS and JS responses.

Is there another alternative to doing this with .htaccess?
Core should support .gz for CSS &amp; JS. This requires .htaccess rules though. For core they should already be included.

Looks like I never got around to gzip for Boost for 7.x. You can follow the issue here
