This is not that bad in fact. Consider GzipCompressingEntity class for instance. As far as HTTP content compression is concerned this is clearly a type of outgoing entity. However, it can also be used to wrap an incoming entity on the client side in order to compress its content prior to saving it in a database BLOB field. The same class is perfectly usable in a different context, which is a good thing in my opinion Cheers, Oleg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
