V. cool.
Getting a bit OT here, but it's probably worth just double-checking
that the gzipping is really working; it's easy to get the config
wrong. It doesn't look like that script is getting gzipped to me.
You can check pretty easily with telnet:
Run a telnet:
telnet simonstownrealty.info 80
And type (or more likely paste) this (without the leading spaces):
GET /wp-includes/js/prototype.js?ver=1.6 HTTP/1.1
Host: simonstownrealty.info
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Connection: close
...and press enter twice. You should see gobbledygook (e.g.,
compressed data), but I'm getting the actual script. (Naturally,
displaying compressed data may cause unexpected things in your
terminal window, not least beeping and possibly worse.)
Compare with CNN, which is gzipped:
telnet www.cnn.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.cnn.com
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Connection: close
Of course, your config could be set to do browser sniffing or some
such and only gzip for certain browsers, but given the Accept-Encoding
header, really it should trust that the user agent can do what it says
it can do... :-) I also checked with a free online tool I found with
a quick Google from a company trying to sell you web server add-ons
for compression, etc.: http://www.port80software.com. But they don't
seem to be lying just to sell you stuff, in that they do show
compression working for sites I know are compressed. :-)
FWIW,
