mod_deflate (Apache 2) and mod_gzip (Apache 1) should work fine.
lighttpd's gzip module doesn't seem to support it sadly, but in that
case you can do as someone else suggested and compress in your
application based on the browser sending Accept-Encoding: gzip.

To use AddOutputFilterByType in Apache 2 requires a 1-line patch I
posted to the list a week or two ago; otherwise you can use
AddOutputFilter and the usual env vars.  See the Apache docs.
