Re: file compression

That is true with some browsers. You can check the Accept-Encoding: (I think -- see the HTTP RCF for sure) headers. If it includes application/gzip, then is should be okay. But, keep in mind, this is not common practice, it adds overhead to your servers and introduces a major risk of your web site appearing broken to large percentage of your audience. -jeremy brand Jeremy Brand :: Sr. Software Engineer :: 408-245-9058 :: jeremy@nirvani.net http://www.JeremyBrand.com/Jeremy/Brand/Jeremy_Brand.html for more - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I am pleased to see that we have differences.
