There's two ways to serve gzipped content: In-HTTP by having the server and browser agree on whether to do it, or just sending gzipped files. The former is the most flexible, as the UA's abilities are considered, and it has to specifically request a gzipped transfer, falling back on a regular transfer, and it seems the standard say SVG viewers are more or less required to support gzipped transfers if they use HTTP, so in general it's a no-loss, probably-gain thing. I don't use IIS, but a quick google turned up http://radderz.me.uk/wiki/IIS_GZip_Compression which may be helpful start. Generally, sending gzip files is less useful as it counts on the UA decompressing which nothing really does, but SVG viewers seem to be the exception to the rule. The standard seems to mention, though not require it, but I do believe at least all major SVG viewers just load them. Adobe and Batik do, at least. Side note: Adobe's getURL transparently handles gzip compressed content, meaning you could also load gzipped svg files from a main svg file. I'm not sure how much this depends on serving them with the right mime type, though, ot whether Batik/Corel's implementations of the function do this too. --Bart ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
