disable/enable gzip compression, via .htaccess?

[furimedia]

anyone know how i can disable or enable gzip compression via .htaccess?

it seems once i set it enabled on the LS, there is no way to turn this off client side?

Use a rewrite rule in .htaccess to disable it

RewriteRule . - [E=no-gzip:1]

Above rule will disable it globally. however, you can customize the rewrite to disable gzip selectively.

disable zlib output compression

Use a rewrite rule in .htaccess to disable it

RewriteRule . - [E=no-gzip:1]

Above rule will disable it globally. however, you can customize the rewrite to disable gzip selectively.

I am setting up w3 total cache on my sites and it seems to require that the zlib output compression be turned off. I applied this to my .htaccess and while the site did continue working w3 total cache still says that it is on. Any suggestions to a novice in using .htaccess or changing the PHP files?

I think it is complaining about PHP output compression, litespeed has no effect, you have to do it from PHP side.
check output-handler

You need to google this topic.
