Re: Gzipped output

Yes, I thought about this, but this has a big disadvantage - the client must wait for the file to be fully processed and compressed and then he can start downloading. I'd like to let the client start downloading the compressed parts while the further parts are still being processed and compressed - it's similar to streaming concept. I hope you can see what I mean.

That script generates a large text file to download, so I thought I can gzip it somehow to make the downloads faster. The buffered way (to load all the output to some $buffer and then echo gzencode($buffer,6);) consumes too much memory.

You could write it to a local file, then do: header("Content-Type: application/x-gzip"); Header("Content-Disposition: attached; filename=\"\"") passthru("gzip -c <file>"); /Per Jessen, Zürich
