I was wondering what apache modules people are using to extend/enhance the function of apache. I do not mean the standard modules such as mod_perl, mod_php, etc., but more specialized modules such as mod_gzip and mod_status. Please post info, comments, and where to get the module.

The apache module registry can be found at:
http://modules.apache.org/

But I am sure there are many modules in use that are not in there.

I use:
mod_gzip
Compresses .html files on the fly to save bandwidth and give faster downloads.
mod_coldfusion
Provides link to the Macromedia Coldfusion Application Server.

mod_gzip off the bad is a great module for enhancing Apache performance. I would do some searches for it. But you do not want to bog Apache down with too many modules. :)

I don't see any reason why people don't install mod_gzip. I think installing mod_gzip should be required by US Law :) It saves your http bandwith a lot as well as speeds up httpd transfer! One of the most useful module for any webhost!

mod_php. Where would life be without PHP? :cartman:
