I am developing an application with several hundred thousand XML files
which will be gzipped to save disk space. I have patched AxKit to
read gzipped input files (with changes to Provider::File and
ConfigReader). I assume this feature will be generally useful, so I
would like to submit the patch. But I have some questions and I would
welcome any feedback on the idea.
I am considering making this a configurable feature using a directive
called AxGunzipInput:
AxGunzipInput .gz
Would this be the best way to incorporate the feature so that people
can turn it on or off (and override the extension like AddEncoding)?
Another question: in CVS I see some recent UTF8 changes like this:
my $filename = AxKit::FromUTF8($self->{file});
If I want to check for a '.gz' extension on the file name, I assume I
need to check the converted file. That is, I should check $filename
instead of $self->{file} for the extension. Right? Or will it not
matter? (As you can tell, I have not investigated what the UTF8
conversion is all about. If my question is not a simple one, just let
me know and I'll go ahead and investigate UTF8.)
