I am writing a service that sends data as a response, to a client. I am sending text (PLAIN ASCII) data, but I want to compress the data first (uzing any of the standard compression routines), and then send the compressed data back to the server, using the header() function etc. I am relatively new to PHP so having gathered the data, I...
I've been doing some thinking about data redundancy, and just wanted to throw everything out in writing before I kept going along with this (and furthermore to double check whether or not this idea has already been put into practice). Alright, so here goes. The internet is filled with redundant data, including text, images, videos, etc...
Hi. I'm looking for a program with really quite specific functionality, which hopefully exists so I don't have to implement it myself. I can best describe this hypothetical program as a filesystem-based cache of compressed copies of documents in the working directory. I've made a mock-up of what I would expect this program to do: jam...
I have written a css server which does minimization and basic parsing/var replacement. The server is using node.js. I am wanting to gzip my response from this server. As told in IRC, node.js does not currently have a gzip lib, so I am attempting to do it manually from the command line (as I am only gzipping when not in cache). I am pus...
I'm making an installer program for my web application. My web application uses CSS and JS heavily, so I want to enable both Static and Dynamic HttpCompression for IIS7/7.5. It needs 2 steps: I can modified the web.config, put <httpcompression> tag, it's ok. DynamicContentCompression must be turned on in Windows Feature to make httpC...
I'm using Weblogic application server and Apache web server in my J2EE environment and planning to implement gzip compression of response. Not sure, whether to implement compression on the Apache server or on the weblogic. ...
I was looking at PageSpeed on my test website and noticed that Lighttpd wasn't compressing my HTML (but was compressing my javascript and css files). I'm assuming this is because I'm using CodeIgniter and it's clean url system and since the requests don't have file extensions, Lighttpd doesn't have the rule to compress it. That being the...
I remember someone telling me that gzipped content is not cached on some browsers? is this true? Are there any other reasons why I shouldn't gzip my content (pages, javascript and css files) with htaccess? ...
Can anyone provide some insight into how i'd go about decompressing an XML response in classic ASP. We've been handed some code and asked to get it working: Set oXMLHttp = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP") URL = HttpServer + re_domain + ".do;jsessionid=" + ue_session + "?" + data oXMLHttp.setTimeouts 5000, 60000, 1200000, 1200...
I have been trying to debug this for weeks. All of the browsers on all of the clients on my home network are sending 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate'. However, that header is somehow, somewhere being dropped before the request makes it to a web server. For example, http://www.whatsmyip.org/http_compression/ says 'No, your browser is not r...
Everyone, as far as I'm concerned the question is ansered in EDIT 2. Although it's only a partial solution to the IIS side of the problem, it's what I was looking for. So I'm going to add my query to the small ocean of questions on the subject. I'm trying to enable GZip compression on large soap responses from a WCF service. So far,...
Apache compress content only if receives "Accept-Encoding: gzip" in request header. If i set "Accept-Encoding: deflate" then Apache would not compress the response anymore. Does mod_deflate use gzip compression algorithm or deflate compression algorithm (aka zlib)? ...
YSlow has suggested that I use HTTP compression to improve the performance of my site. However, as noted by Yahoo that are some problems. There are known issues with browsers and proxies that may cause a mismatch in what the browser expects and what it receives with regard to compressed content. Fortunately, these edge cases ...
What is the recommended way to configure Apache to enable HTTP compression for CSS and JS fiels, using .htaccess? I have seen several different directives used in examples on the web. I have tried some of these and yet I have not been able to get it to work. I am checking the HTTP headers using Firebug. ...

Is there any way to make browsers &/or Silverlight application do a GZIP compression of HTTP requests? Don't confuse with GZIP compression of HTTP responses - I know how to set this up on the server side. What I need is to compress requests as well, and protocol allows that - anybody using it? Configuration tips? ...
This is a major issue for me. In earlier times, web service clients could simply use EnableDecompression = true and all was good, but why did Microsoft not add something similar to WCF? I really NEED gzip compressed responses from my WCF services (and they need to be http... legacy issues, as usual... you know...). ...
Hello, What is the best way to minify jQuery with other js files. My goals is one request for all my JS files. I have about 6 other js files that I would like combine with jQuery and the jQuery UI. When I leave the jQuery library and UI library out of the minification file it is fine. So I have three requests: jQuery library jQuery UI...
I am implementing page/resource compression to improve website performance. I have tried to implement both blowery and wicked HttpCompress but end up getting the same result. This only seems to affect Firefox, I have tested on Chrome and IE. What happens is the first time I request the page all the external resources decompress ok. T...
I'm a web application developer, who runs a site http://myfav.es. We've been struggling with this issue for about a month now. We use the HTML application cache spec - www.w3.org/TR/offline-webapps/ - with dynamically generated manifest files - myfav.es/personal.manifest - to speed page delivery. These dynamically generated manifest fi...
