I would have presumed squid would decompress before sending to client. While there will be a processor and memory overhead in decompressing, html files tend to compress really well, and if this was to be implemented, maybe an ACL could exist so as not to waste time trying to compress .jpg files which are already compressed.

I do not subscribe to the devel list so should we expect this 3.1 for this year ? Is there any other proxy (and that can me sent to me directly) that do offer this feature ? It really can save a lot of bandwidth and time for dial-up users so please consider adding this as soon as possible. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
