Okay thanks now I'm using Dynagzip. The results are quite impressive.
Some of my scripts output rtf or csv. The user can select the output
format (html/csv) so depending on their selection I need to have
compression turned off. Some scripts only output rtf. All my scripts have
the extension 'pl'.
I have tried $r->dir_config->set(Filter => 'Off') ; if user script outputs
rtf.
Is there some way I can turn off compression for certain scripts. I could
rename the extension for scripts that I don't want compression, but in the
case where the user can select the output then those scripts won't benefit
from compression. It would be easier to turn it off dynamically than to
rename my scripts, links, <form action=''> etc etc.
Also why does IE 6 display different html code compared to Netscape?
Netscape displays it correctly, but IE only displays '</body></html' at
the end. It's always missing the last '>'
