Re: GZip + NS + Print = Trouble

Yep... You're right (again...). Though I must say that the transfer _is_ a 'problem'. Not only for NS users, but for most people, because let's face it; most people still use a modem (39K, 56K...) for Internet and not the 2Gb line that I have. I've got not problems with transfer-speed at all, but those people at home will. Ofcourse I know that making my pages less big would be a good solutions, may hey... it makes 'm look and works so very nice. What I mean is; I didn't say that NS transfers slower, but the people who use my sites have to download a lot of sh%t that I wrote (well, not exactly sh%t, 'cause I do get paid for it) and to speed that up (most Internet-connections at home s~ck) I wanted to compress the data being transferred. And the gzhandler was a good sollution. I mean... HTML still _IS_ plain text and that compresses like reeeeeeaaaaaly good. And the unzipping on the clientside hardly takes any effort, so... But now I'm writing to much. You're right. That's what this was about. The solution like I have it now doesn't work for NS; that's for sure. So for the time being I'll just adjust my 'headers' (cry, cry, cry) so that the gzhandler isn't used for NS. God I hate this!!! When ever anyone has _some_ (sort of a) solution for this afterall... Please, please, please let me know....... For now: Thanks for the effort(s)!! RenzE Michael Kimsal wrote: > > No problem.
