From: isawhim at gmail dot com Operating system: unix/linux PHP version: 5.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Gzip folder, Unzip if not Accept Type gzip.
Description: ------------ I am aware that there is an option to use Gzip, if a browser asks for (Accept Type: gzip)... However, what was once a scarce option, is now almost a standard. With 90% of the browsers ASKING for Gzip, wouldn't it make more sense to have entire folders "Pre-compressed" at the max-compression... Then deliver them to that 90%, without server-side processing. Then, when that 10% asks for uncompressed, the server simply deflates the file, which is also faster, for that small minority. Hmmm, 90% work-load reduced, not having to compress every bit of data. Another 50% speed-gain from decompress, as opposed to compress, on that remaining 10%... Plus the bonus of all that Prezipped content, stored on the server. (Gain of 80% in unused space, should also result in faster speeds, server-side.) You would only need to have a special CFTP or CHTML or SCHTML access gateway, or arrangement in cPanel, or something similar. (Since those files would be un-editable by normal editing.) You would have to FORCE this arrangement into ONE special type of folder. (So that you KNOW where to put the things, pre-compressed. Or use a SYNC to input/extract files for addition/removal.) Otherwise, they would react like normal. (But in reverse. Unzipping, if no gzip accept, and just sending if gzip accept requested.) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41999&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=41999&r=mysqlcfg
