I'm assuming you want the browser to display the HTML and not just save it to a file, right? If so, the answer is "sometimes". The browser can signal to the server through the "Accept-Encodings" request header. You can't just assume that all browsers will know what to do with gzip'ed content. The HTTP spec (rfc2616) isn't as easy to read as the Servlet spec, but it's the final authority on how this sort of thing should work, so you should probably take a look at it (Section 14.3 especially) Do a quick google search (http://www.google.com) and you will probably find some detailed step-by-step instructions. Don't worry if they aren't specifically servlet based, the general principals are the same: check the request headers, set up the response headers, gzip up the html using java.util.zip.*, etc. -- Christopher St. John [EMAIL PROTECTED] DistribuTopia http://www.distributopia.com ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
