http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25640 Request: HTML Compression Summary: Request: HTML Compression Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.1-HEAD Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would like to ask that a new internet standard be given. Not only to save bandwidth and load times but to make the open source community really show it's mastery and abilities. I am proposing that apache begins running an HTML compression technique where as html tags and string data is compressed / compiled and then the mozilla /any browser will decompress/parse the data as if it was real html text. Reason: Today we send over a terrabyte of html websites/html code over the internet, if the pages were compressed by reducing and removing some of the quite un- nessessary tags such as the <HTML> tag or using a 2 byte notation for the <BODY> tag the internet could substantially use around 1gb of bandwidth instead of 1 terrabyte of bandwidth. Companies would be very interested in saving money and/or using the bandwidth they have on other things like downloads or other such things. Open source software may be free to use for hosting but the bandwidth is always going to cost the end user alot more. Don't believe me that this will be a good idea? just look at what netzero is doing with their html/web compression they managed to fake out a 56k line to be able to load amazon.com in 4.3 seconds rather than 13 or so. I believe this is a fundamental idea and in order to actually get it started you need to get a bunch of people devoted to working on software that is used by many companies. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
