What if you want to compress flat text? > All html files compressed and no seek for user > Speed download to UP . > > Examples : files.html > ---------------------- > <ZIP> > .......compressed data......... > </ZIP> You mean, every time you want to send compressed data, you need to wrap it in HTML? And what is the browser supposed to do with the uncompressed data? There is a mechanism in place (the Content-encoding HTTP header) that allows you have documents uncompressed by the browser transparently. Try compressing your existing HTML files on your existing HTTP server and viewing them with yopur existing browser; chances are that it works already. -- Reinier
