Many people indent HTML with spaces - those who code by hand. Some of them (size conscious) unindent them for production and sometimes partially indent again for fixing something! And we often use "font" tags everywhere because of browsers with bad CSS support. I would feel much better about those spaces and font tags thinking how little they would weight after gziped. Ok! I know that all HTML (with all those repetitive tags) benefits a lot from compression. But for me (and those HTML coders) there is a feel good factor on gzip support. =;o) Have fun, Paulo > -----Original Message----- > From: Remy Maucherat [mailto:remy@betaversion.org] > Sent: Friday, January 19, 2001 23:10 > > ... > > BTW, I think compression should be part of the HTTP connector. > Every modern > browser out there sends accept-encoding headers with the > appropriate value : > - IE 5 sends : gzip, deflate > - Mozilla sends : gzip,deflate,compress,identity > - Netscape 4.7 sends : gzip > So roughly 95% of the requests will be wrapped by a compression > valve.
