Bryan: Whatever html is fed to the client browser is what gets compressed. .shtml files won't work with the CF-based solution unless you do some tinkering under the server's hood, but I'm sure something will.
Scott: if you decide to you'll save a lot more than 50%. I just tested that 109k (html) sitemap and it gets gzipped to 12k (104979 to 12279). I set cf_GZipPage to 9 on that one; the max. You can easily test this by commenting out the gzip file delete line in the tag and then just viewing the file in a zip program.

Will it compress those the same as it would HTML files?

Bandwidth savings. On your server, before X kilobytes of html is shot down the pipe to the client, it is gzip-compressed. Browsers received this 'zipped' file and natively know how to decompress it. 100k of html becomes as little as 15-20k during transmission, then is unzipped on the client transparently to its full size. If you have lots of html the differences can be significant. I have a gigantic 'store map' page that displays for a client. Over 100k of html. It displays in an instant even over a dialup connection. The cost is to your CPU and to memory usage. However I have been very, very pleased with my results over maybe 2 years of use. I have it running on maybe 2 dozen sites on one server. My cms supports it out of the box. -------------------------------------------- Matt Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com -------------------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Your ad could be here.
