Jun 07, 2005Just an FYI but the Deflate and GZIP compression methods are exactly the same. The only difference between the two is that GZIP has additional data structures to support filenames/directories etc... The reason why F5 defaults to Deflate is because it will always give you smaller transfer sizes since web content does not the additional features GZIP provides.
See RFC1951 and RFC1952
