title: How to enable gzip?
body: <p>I have found a couple of tutorials on how to enable gzip, but nothing seems to be working for me, so my question is how do i enable gzip. I am on a shared Dreamhost hosting server, It is running PHP version 5.2, and Apache, from the php info i have found this line, maybe this could help?</p>
  
  <pre><code>zlib
  
  ZLib Support    enabled
  Stream Wrapper support  compress.zlib://
  Stream Filter support   zlib.inflate, zlib.deflate
  Compiled Version    1.2.3.3
  Linked Version  1.2.3.3
  
  Directive   Local Value Master Value
  zlib.output_compression Off Off
  zlib.output_compression_level   -1  -1
  zlib.output_handler no value    no value
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have also found this line</p>
  
  <pre><code>_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING"] gzip, deflate
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't know if that has anything to do with it. But that is my first question, secondly, i have dropbox, hosting a javscript file, and I am wondering is it possible to have that file gzipped, It is not being transfered compressed, so is ther any way to do so?</p>
