Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_compression In essence the HTTP client has to send the string
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate in its headers. And if the server supports one of the encodings it sends the follwing response in the response headers Vary: Accept-Encoding Content-Encoding: gzip And btw surveys show that gzip performs the best at xml compression. So how about making the server to use gzip compression On Thu, Mar 27, 2008 at 8:23 PM, Tom Hughes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Once the query has completed the output is streamed directly. > > > > I suppose I could build in an option to compress it first.
