	<title>Overview</title>
	<para>
		This module is able to detect compressed body in received SIP message
		and decompress it as well as compress the body for outgoing SIP
		message. It works also for received HTTP request and replied HTTP
		response (&kamailio; cannot work in HTTP proxy mode).
	</para>
	<para>
		The decision of whether to do compression or decompression is made
		by detecting a special SIP header (default 'Content-Encoding') that
		matches a given value - both header name and value can be set via
		module parameters. If a SIP message is received with clear body and
		you want to compress the body for outgoing, add the header in config
		file. The header can be added to the local generated replies as well.
	</para>
	<para>
		In other words, if the header is present in incoming SIP message, its
		body is decompressed. If the header is present in outgoing SIP message,
		its body is compressed. Therefore inside configuration file, the body
		is in original format(e.g., plain text). In this way, the existing
		functions to handle content of the body work as usual (e.g., to strip
		codecs in sdp via sdpops or do substitutions via textops).
	</para>
	<para>
		The functions used to compress and decompress are from zlib
		library (http://zlib.net).
	</para>
	<para>
		NOTE: for the moment the module cannot be used with topoh module,
		overlapping in core event callbacks (will be fixed soon).
	</para>
	<para>
		The immediate benefit of compressing the body is to reduce the size
		of the SIP message, increasing the chances to stay under MTU for UDP
		packets. From observation, the compressed body is in between 50% to 67%
		smaller than the original size (e.g., a body of 431 bytes was
		compressed to 230).
	</para>
	<para>
		A use case can be when having peering traffic between two Kamailio
		servers. Before relaying to the other Kamailio,  use
		in config file: append_hf("Content-Encoding: deflate\r\n").

			If set to 1, gzcompress module will bind to sanity module in order
			to perform sanity checks over received SIP request. Default
			sanity checks are done. It is useful to check if received request
			is well formatted before proceeding to encoding/decoding.
		</para>
		<para>
		<emphasis>
			Default value is 0 (do not bind to sanity module).

		Next example shows how to enable compression for forwarded requests,
		as well as replying with compressed body for HTTP requests. For SIP,
		the request is received and forwarded to itself once, just for the
		sake of showing a simple example.
