I have to agree with Tom. I don't think the application should be
making decisions about if and when to send data compressed.
I think it should be handled in the config the same as the character
encoding is handled.

I thought that someone had suggested that the compression feature should be
handled without any flags, but based upon configuration parameters and client
headers.
The main reason for this is because you would have to do the checks anyway,
does the compression library exist, can the client accept compression, etc.
Then what do you do if compression is requested and it doesn't exist?
Maybe this discussion happened over at OpenACS.org, but this is equivalent to
an ssl layer, in general the application layer shouldn't get involved in this
type of detail.

Dossy,
I think the discussion is just this:
As Bret clearly stated at the beginning of the thread:
1) modify ns_return to take a flag. The optional connid parameter
makes parsing the args a little trickier.
Current:
ns_return ?connid? status type string (is connid ever used??)
New
ns_return ?connid? status type string ?gzip?
OR
ns_return ?connid? status type string ?-gzip boolean?
2) add a new command similar to the workarounds:
ns_returnz status type string
3) Expose Ns_ConnSetGzipFlag to the script level. This would be most
similar to how the ADP compression is done
I would like to see it but I don't forsee being able to write the code.
