Apache: uncompressing 'on the fly'?

[Steve Thomas]

A technical question (craving the indulgence of non-technical members):

Is there a way of having the Apache web server uncompress files 'on the
fly', i.e. of having a compressed file automatically de-compressed byt the
server when responding to the user's request for the document?

I thought I recalled something about this, but can't find a reference to it
in the Apache docs (which probably means it can't).

(I already know how to do this with a cgi script, thanks anyway. I'm hoping
for a built-in module in Apache that will do it transparently.)

Regards,

Steve
