Hello,

First, sorry for posting this slightly off-topic message here.  I do 
so only since this may be the place where I saw the lost reference
(searched the archives but no luck), and my monitor now has a dent
from my head-banging.

What I am in search of is reference to a url which I saw on a fairly
recient posting (somewhere, maybe within the past month), which was
explaining the configuration steps used to have Apache send gzipped
files as unzipped, text/html content when requested by the client.

What I've got is a directory hierarchy full of text documents which
have been gzipped (.gz).  Prior to being zipped, they are indexed,
and the directories are also accessable directly.  What I want to
do is when someone clicks on, say...

	http://some.where.com/mydocs/topic1/part1.gz

That my server (Apache 1.3.12) will ungzip the file and send with
a text/html (or text/plain) content type so the content is then
displayed as plain text in the client browser.

Thanks is advance,
Keith
