Re: gzipping your websites WINRAR 40 days trial
I used to be annoyed when someone zipped and the rared. Winzip cannot even handle this yet. Nowadays I can just say that RAR is more universial the Zip.

Well, everyone using Windows is likely to be using either a copy of WinZip (unpaid for, of course) or if they're using XP the system has *finally* added capabilities for dealing with compressed formats. Poking around WinZip's site, I can't find any mention of bzip / bzip2. asking Google about "winzip bzip2" turns up phrases such as Unfortunately WinZip does not unzip bzip2 [trolltech.com] Of course, some day WinZip will add bzip2 [redhat.com] etc. The most fruitful links seem to point to Cygwin, which while appreciated is about as likely as saying "just install Linux." Actually, that pretty much *is* what they're saying... :) Searching for "windows xp bzip2" turns up a link for PowerArchiver, which while apparently nicer than WinZip, isn't a program that most people seem to be running (or, arguably, will ever see a need for, as long as WinZip does .zip and .zip is all they're interested in). A poke around MS's techpubs site suggests that Win-Me-Oh-God-NO was the first version to support the .zip format natively (that only took them 15 years -- impressive), but apparently it's the only compression format that MS has any interest in. I see no mention of bzip, gzip, sit, hqx, etc. So... no, bzip file support is unlikely unless they're savvy enough to have installed Cygwin, PowerArchiver, or similar tools. Which most Windows users probably haven't & probably never will.

Howdy all of you Perl People! This is Marcus. The Swedish. This is my first post. I was at the last social meeting and was hoping to be able to have been there on the one earlier tonight but was unable to. As I joined this mailing list a while back in digest mode but have not yet recived a single digest (is there a bug?). So thought I gotta go non-digest and see what happens. The reason I'm sending you this message is two. As the people I talked to at the last meeting know I'm a Perl n0obie I wonder if you can with Perl make an URL entered with the bleeping www. entered. e.g. enter www.domainname.org redirects to domainname.org An example of this can be seen at http://www.svt.se The next reason I'm sending you this message is I wanna host my future domain on a server that not 404 if you do not enter the goddessdamnit W's. I talked to Roger [Hi Roger] and he said that some of you could host domain's so if I cannot get an own server going I wonder is maybe I can get it going with some of yours assitance or possily even host it on one of you guys or GIRLS even machine. Please let me know your thoughts. And hope to see you all soon again. Goodbye for now.

It probably is to someone asking the question in the first place :) P - Thanks to you all for the info and the data I can actupon. I've visted Makepeace site and he actually got the www. KICK! DOWN! (credit to him for that) Have you or any one else experienced any actual probs? Or any other for that matter. With risk of writing rubbish since tired and confused. Yes, https:// I want. What would be the potential possible cookie problems then. The page expired issue: I hate that. That is to do with cookies I think. Lets say you complete a form. Is cookie required to remember what was entered if going backwards!? What is the need of a cookie if it just gonna expire to fast or to late!? When filling in a secure order form. Is a cookie maybe required if you would link back to the form would a cookie not be required if you Javascripted backwards in history instead of a link!? These are som random thought at the moment.
