Hi, today I came across the following on freshmeat.net: "AlgART HTML Packer (AHP) allows you to reduce the download time of your Web site by 2-10 times. It does this via automatic, dynamic compression of all Web pages of your site with use of the standard "GZip-Encoding". Packing speed is about 200-500 Kb/sec on Pentium-200. The unpacking takes virtually no time. It works on both Apache and MS IIS." I understand that the "major" browsers (Netscape Navigator (Mozilla?), MS Internet Explorer, ...) support the transport of gzip-compressed HTML pages through HTTP. Sadly I was not able to find information on this standard on w3.org. I'd like to write, if possible, a small library in PHP that sends the output of PHP scripts gzip-compressed, if the visitor's browser supports this.
