Hi all-

Is there really a difference between ob_gzhandler and zlib.output_compression,
now that ob_gzhandler supports chunks?

Since, in zlib.c, zlib.output_compression still causes output buffering to be
turned on, I can't see that there's a convincing reason to use one over the
other, unless you need fine control over the flush/clean functions. Can anyone
shed some light on this?

Slightly OT: with such an amazing option so easy to implement on top of an
existing application (via either PHP or mod_gzip), and widespread browser
support, why don't more sites use this? Bandwidth is expensive. CPU cycles are
not. We've seen 900K HTML reports compressed to 40K. Truly awesome.

Thanks
John
