mod_deflate working or not?

hi,

I am running apache 2.0.50 on a windows XP machine.
I would like to enable mod_deflate for a php-driven website.

The directives I put into the httpd.conf seem to work sine apache starts up
fine, but I am not sure if the output is compressed or not.
I got the link to a website (leknor.com) that can check it, but my server
is intranet-only so I cannot access it from the internet to see if the
compression is working with that tool.

I have the following setup:

LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so

and in the <VirtualHost *>
I have a
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE

Is that enough at all? What else do I need? The page is displayed with IE
and Opera just fine, but how do I know its compressed?
I am using AwStats as a logfile analyzer, and it has a section to show
compression ratio of files, but the fields for that stay empty, so I assume
that something is not working right

thanks for the help.

Oliver

Mozilla/Firefox have an extension called "Live HTTP Headers" which allow
you to see whether it's compressed. Response headers should contain:

Content-Encoding: gzip

Alternatively, you can telnet to port 80 and send commands by hand:

GET /whatever/file HTTP/1.1
Host: <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.example.com" target="_blank">www.example.com</a>
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
