mod_ziplook 2002.08.07 (for Apache 1.3)

mod_ziplook offers is a zip-file browsing module that can send files with gzip transfer-encoding.
Main features:
- Whole directory structure of ZIP-file can be seen.
- Separate files can be seen easily (/xxxx.zip/dir/afile.html)
- In case of directories index.html is looked. (/y/x.zip/dir/ => /y/x.zip/dir/index.html)
- Handles If-Modified-Since and NotModified-status
- If your browser supports gzip content-encoding and documents in ZIP-archive are "Deflate"-compressed: module changes files to gzip format in fly. This makes things very fast (and server cpu & network capasity is saved)
