The logfile example I'm just going to ignore because it is bogus on so many planes that it's not even funny: The exact same problem exists with compressed logfiles when no HTTP is involved at alle. Video formats defined exactly so that they are searchable, and if anybody wastes their time gzip'ing videos, they have bigger problems than not being able to search them. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
