Or perhaps: cool. Is it possible for me to usurp this module? The Apache::Gzip module I've been working on has the same goals and same purpose as the one in the eagle, but a bit of a different interface and a very different implementation inside. It's reasonable that if the only thing changing is the interface (can I say that with a straight face?), the module could be kept the same. Doug, what do you think? I assume it would be a bad idea to have two modules, an Apache::GZip (from the book) and an Apache::Gzip (on CPAN). Or might that be okay, if notes were added to the docs for each? -Ken

Big pages and gzip
it would seem to be quite straight forward to implement a handler to gzip all output html files depending on the allowed mime-types and/or user_agent. This would reduce many pages by up to a factor of 10 in size. 1) Is anyone already doing? 2) If not why not? 3) what borwsers would accept html files in a gzipped format Thanks Mark This e-mail, and any attachment, is confidential.
