Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs => .htaccess

		AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/css text/xml application/x-javascript

Should be:

		AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/css text/xml application/x-javascript application/javascript

None of the javascripts sent by my server were being gzip encoded.

Okay, this is my htaccess file as it stands now. It handles SEO slugs perfectly, and even compresses and caches images. I noticed a SIGNIFICANT boost to my forum speed with this htaccess. Content.php used to take 5 seconds to process according to microstats, now it runs in 0.9 seconds.

The current .htaccess files in the vB zip file do work for the majority of situations. If you wish to discuss this custom .htaccess file (which by the way caused white pages on my vB4 test forum) please do so over at the vB mod site.: www.vbulletin.org
