RE: [squid-users] Compressing HTML pages before sending to client

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.

there's only one problemm with that idea (which i might add is a good one).
the browser has no idea about any compression of any kind (as far as i
know). you'd need an appl on your browsing machine to undo the compression
and feed it to the browser.

sounds like a complicated setup.

Hi,

I recently searched the archives and found one
post/reply where the ability to dinamically compress
the HTML before sending to the users was put as a
3.1/3.2 feature.

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.
