Has anyone used Html2Zip?

"Thank you for your query. Please note our servers are configured for GZIP compression yet we do not offer any support in this area. If you know how to do the coding to zip files on the fly then it should be fine." Any suggestions on how to do this? According to their help info[^] the servers are running Apache 1.3.

I'm not too familiar with HTML compression, but I'll takes some GUESSES :). I'm GUESSING that means they've installed mod_gzip on the Apache server. I'm not too familiar with how it all works, but I'm GUESSING some google searches with "Apache mod_gzip" will start pointing you in the right direction.
I, for one, do not think the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

I've been keeping an eye on the logs for my site, and over the last year the monthly bandwidth has been creaping up gradually, from 690MB/month last February to 1013MB/month by October. That's not come as a surprise, given the number of people I've met in the last couple of years and the gradually increasing content of the site. The site's hosted by Easily[^], whose rates are pretty reasonable...but I do have to pay for any bandwidth over the initial allocation of 5 GB/year. When I checked the logs in late December I noticed that the bandwidth useage has shot up to 3392MB/month - and the stats for January look like continuing that trend (and in fact, being even higher!) The increase is largely due to others reading my account of my recent trip to Thailand - in fact the index page for my recent surgery is responsible for the highest bandwidth consumption of all files on the site - including the (much larger) ResOrg downloads. This has got me thinking about HTML compression. Although I've experimented with HtmlCompress[^] in the past, I found it tended to mess up formatting so I ditched it fairly quickly. Html2Zip[^] does look promising though. It zips the HTML files uploaded to the server, so that when a page is requested, the zipped copy is downloaded and unzipped client side. A copy of the original unzipped page is also stored on the server in case the browser isn't compatible. It seems very promising (and pretty cheap at $28.95), but I do wonder about possible pitfalls - e.g. browser compatibility. Has anyone out there used it, and if so what are your experiences? Any suggested alternatives?

-David St. HubbinsI've donw some digging and experimenting but so far all I get is an "Internal Server Error" message. :confused: Without knowing the specifics of their server configuration it's hard to know what I need to tweak...I've written back to them so all I can do is wait and see if they can give any meaningful answers.
