Busybox's goal is cleary to keep things as simple as possible, and doing a simple for i in `find /var/www -name \*.html' -o -name '*.css' -o -name '*.js'`; do gzip -c -9< $i> $i.gz done Would work for most people. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the BB goal was light and fast rather than "simple". Missing out some of the less used options in std tools is presumably to lighten the footprint , not to make things simple.
while it may take a few lines more code to check and maintain a cache the runtime overhead would be minimal compared to the overhead of gzipping files each and every time they are requested.
lighttpd don't do this for bloat , thier lietmotif is also light , hence the name.
