Apache will recognize a file with a ".gz" extension as gzipped, and send the Content-Encoding: x-gzip line. Netscape will recognize Content-Encoding: x-gzip, and uncompress the file. Unfortunately, at least in my installation (Apache 1.3.14, Red Hat 7), Apache doesn't look at the extension before the ".gz" to get the content-type; "foo.txt.gz" gets marked as Content-Type: application/x-gzip. -- /=================================================================\ |John Stracke | http://www.ecal.com |My opinions are my own. | |Chief Scientist |================================================| |eCal Corp. |But how do we know destroying the Van Allen belt| |francis@ecal.com|will kill all life on Earth if we don't try it? | \=================================================================/Received on Thursday, 30 November 2000 15:42:12 EST
