gzip compression of output

Geraint Edwards	Friday 13 May 2005 5:22:31 am I'm currently experimenting with an interesting approach to gzip encoding of ezPublish output. See http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/php/php-gzip-and-htaccess/ It seems to work (although I've not tested it through a badly configured proxy!) and reduces the size of the PHP output by 75%. Next step is to figure out a way of using mod_rewrite to serve compressed static content (my hosting service doesn't support mod_gzip or mod_deflate). Anyone else tried this/any comments? Geraint
Geraint Edwards	Friday 13 May 2005 5:38:38 am OK - now the static part. Add a gzipped copy of the CSS files e.g. site.css.gz whilst keeping the original site.css file. Next modify your .htaccess file to add the following lines: AddType text/css css gz AddEncoding gzip gz RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-encoding} gzip RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.).css RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}.gz -f RewriteRule ^(.).css $1.css.gz Again it all seems to work and dramatically reduces the bandwidth. This time with no server overhead. Geraint

Xavier Dutoit	Friday 13 May 2005 8:34:21 am Hi, I remember a thread about gziping the content of the pages too. (a php only solution with ob_handler), have a look. Also, a great trick on css is to "strip" them down (ie, erease the spaces, cr, comments...). You can find programs doing that (same for js). Beware that some browsers (ok, maybe antics like NS4) don't cope at all with compressed css. X+ http://www.sydesy.com
