[Seaside] Kom/Seaside/Apache, gzip?

[William Harford]

Hi all,

Most of the content that we serve up using Apache is gziped either  
using Apache's mod_deflate ( we used mod_gzip with apache 1.3) or  
using PHP's output buffering capabilities. My users have become  
accustom to the quick download times of our web biased applications.

Gziping content makes a huge difference with our applications. Does  
Kom support this? If it does not appear that it would be a huge  
undertaking. Any pointers on where to begin ?

Does anyone know if Apache can act a a gzip proxy ? Gziping non-ziped  
content served from seaside. Has any one done this? Any examples?

The only idea I had was to use mod_php/mod_perl to handle the  
proxying and gziping from a seaside image. I am not sure what the  
performance hit would be but it just feels hackish to me. In my mind  
the best solution would be Gzip support in Kom.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Will
