Re: [PHP4BETA] gz encoding?

I was discouraged to implement it for PHP4 as I was told it shouldn't be done inside PHP but should be an output filter of Apache 2. Since Apache 2 is nowhere near ready for prime time AFAIK I might be tempted to provide an inofficial patch/module for PHP4 sometimes in the first quarter of the next millenium ;-) Right now I'm too busy to do it :-( [ BTW: If anyone knows any deails about the rumour that some IE versions send Accept-Encoding: gzip headers but don't really support it I'd be glad to hear it. We're running a site ( http://search.ch/ ) doing compression (only on the result pages) and didn't get any complaints yet. So I guess if it IS more than a rumour it has to be a very unpopular version of IE. ] Cheers, - Chris -- Chris Schneider, mailto:cschneid@relog.ch Computers are not intelligent.
