<p>The <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_brotli.html">mod_brotli</a></code> module provides
    the <code>BROTLI_COMPRESS</code> output filter that allows output from
    your server to be compressed using the brotli compression format before being sent to the client over
    the network. This module uses the Brotli library found at

    </div>

<h3 id="output">Output Compression</h3>
      <p>Compression is implemented by the <code>BROTLI_COMPRESS</code>
      <a href="../filter.html">filter</a>. The following directive
      will enable compression for documents in the container where it
      is placed:</p>

<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">SetOutputFilter BROTLI_COMPRESS
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-brotli</pre>

<p>If you want to restrict the compression to particular MIME types
      in general, you may use the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_filter.html#addoutputfilterbytype">AddOutputFilterByType</a></code> directive. Here is an example of
      enabling compression only for the html files of the httpd
      documentation:</p>

<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;Directory "/your-server-root/manual"&gt;
    AddOutputFilterByType BROTLI_COMPRESS text/html
&lt;/Directory&gt;</pre>

<div class="note"><h3>Note</h3>
        The <code>BROTLI_COMPRESS</code> filter is always inserted after RESOURCE
        filters like PHP or SSI. It never touches internal subrequests.
      </div>
      <div class="note"><h3>Note</h3>
        There is an environment variable <code>no-brotli</code>,
        set via <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_env.html#setenv">SetEnv</a></code>, which
        will disable brotli compression for a particular request, even if
        it is supported by the client.
      </div>

<p>The <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_brotli.html">mod_brotli</a></code> module sends a <code>Vary:
    Accept-Encoding</code> HTTP response header to alert proxies that
    a cached response should be sent only to clients that send the
    appropriate <code>Accept-Encoding</code> request header. This
    prevents compressed content from being sent to a client that will
    not understand it.</p>

<p>If you use some special exclusions dependent
    on, for example, the <code>User-Agent</code> header, you must
    manually configure an addition to the <code>Vary</code> header
    to alert proxies of the additional restrictions. For example,
    in a typical configuration where the addition of the <code>BROTLI_COMPRESS</code>
    filter depends on the <code>User-Agent</code>, you should add:</p>

<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Header append Vary User-Agent</pre>

<p>If your decision about compression depends on other information
    than request headers (<em>e.g.</em> HTTP version), you have to set the
    <code>Vary</code> header to the value <code>*</code>. This prevents
    compliant proxies from caching entirely.</p>

<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Header set Vary *</pre>
</div>

<div class="section">
<h2 id="precompressed">Serving pre-compressed
content <a title="Permanent link" href="#precompressed" class="permalink">&para;</a></h2>

<p>Since <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_brotli.html">mod_brotli</a></code> re-compresses content each
    time a request is made, some performance benefit can be derived by
    pre-compressing the content and telling mod_brotli to serve them
    without re-compressing them. This may be accomplished using a
    configuration like the following:</p>

<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;IfModule mod_headers.c&gt;
    # Serve brotli compressed CSS files if they exist
    # and the client accepts brotli.
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond "%{HTTP:Accept-encoding}" "br"
    RewriteCond "%{LA-U:REQUEST_FILENAME}.br" "-s"
    RewriteRule "^(.*)\.css"              "$1.css.br" [QSA]

# Serve brotli compressed JS files if they exist
    # and the client accepts brotli.

    <p>The <code class="directive">BrotliFilterNote</code> directive
    specifies that a note about compression ratios should be attached
    to the request. The name of the note is the value specified for
    the directive. You can use that note for statistical purposes by
    adding the value to your <a href="../logs.html#accesslog">access log</a>.</p>

<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">BrotliFilterNote ratio

LogFormat '"%r" %b (%{ratio}n) "%{User-agent}i"' brotli
CustomLog "logs/brotli_log" brotli</pre>

<p>If you want to extract more accurate values from your logs, you
    can use the <var>type</var> argument to specify the type of data
    left as a note for logging. <var>type</var> can be one of:</p>

<dl>
      <dt><code>Input</code></dt>
      <dd>Store the byte count of the filter's input stream in the note.</dd>

<dt><code>Output</code></dt>
      <dd>Store the byte count of the filter's output stream in the note.</dd>

<dt><code>Ratio</code></dt>
      <dd>Store the compression ratio (<code>output/input * 100</code>)
      in the note. This is the default, if the <var>type</var> argument
      is omitted.</dd>
