Re: SVGZ support - why isn't there any?

Hello Thomas,

If your question only refers to web browsers, I have been using compressed SVGZ files for a long time.

Before sending SVGZ file like foo.svgz I send html headers:
  Content-Encoding: gzip
  Content-type: image/svg+xml

And in.htaccess add (appache server case):
  AddEncoding gzip svgz

Regards,
Stanisl Jesmanowicz
