I used --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_flv_module.

That's a Debian

   $ uname -a
   Linux machine.dedi.acens.net 2.6.8-3-686-smp #1 \

Yes, I tried all the things proposed in your email, but there was no

That was on most of the time, I think I removed it towards the end  
doing configuration combinatorics :-).

With default compression level I get a response which is bigger than  
the one sent by Apache. Since I am comparing both setups I tweaked  
that documented parameter to match them.

there's nothing printed to the error log.
