I'm sure delta compression is used in many specialized applications, but I do not know of browsers that support it in the general case. http://www.wyman.us/main/2004/09/using_rfc3229_w.html is the only general-purpose, broadly deployed use of delta that I've heard of. The Windows RSS platform supports this feature, as do a number of other RSS clients. Eric Lawrence Want to view and tamper with HTTP(S) traffic?
