Post #150,521 by ChrisR 4/8/04 12:16:42 PM Reply	10q 10q 10q Exactly what I needed - and I didn't even know it. Must remember to upgrade to a decent network administrator so that I don't have to think about such things. For now, I can go back to writing absurdly long web pages and not caring about efficiency. :-) Guess I should ask if there's a catch to such a free gift?

So ones that don't support it still work. As long as most of the browsers going by support it, you see the overall bandwidth wins that you want.

If you use mod_gunzip, then you can store static content in pre-compressed form, and the server only uses (minimal) extra CPU if a browser doesn't understand compressed data. (Which is fairly rare these days - support for compressed data was standardized in the 4.x series.) With mod_gunzip you're saving local disk space and activity, bandwidth, and not even taking up server CPU! The catch is that this ONLY works for static content.
