Tying in with a different thread, my suggestion for an improvement
would be to ship AOLserver should with (or alongside) a standard/
sample library that is intended to be looked at and tweaked (the
standard library that ships currently is boilerplate). This
standard library could include a filter proc to call 'ns_conn gzip
1' (or however it is exposed at the tcl level) based on the config
file setting.
Just do it right in the first place. The config file approach would
solve 99% of the need, and for those needing explicit control an
explicit call to ns_return_compress or whatever would give it to them.
Whatever happened to the KISS principle?
One of the things I love about AOLserver is its relative simplicity.
People always seem to want to screw with that for some reason.
Another thing to include in this standard library could be
compatibility code for the old thread configuration directives
mapping them onto the new 4.5 thread configuration commands.
Or just put back the config parameters as they were, they worked fine
for everyone for a decade. I don't remember the masses shouting that
the config approach wasn't sufficient. It suddenly appeared without
discussion nor documentation.
