What do the popular http daemons do about this? I think a good solution would be: For every .html request that comes in (or perhaps for any request in general), look for a file fitting the traditional spec. If that fails, look for a .gz version of that file in the same directory. If that fails, return the usual 404 error. Does anything already implement this? If not, why not? -- G.
