apache's mod_gzip allows this functionality.

Yes,
_javascript_ files can be gzip'd in advance, stored on a server and delivered to
browsers.
However, IE still has a bug (it's not to do with gzipping the content,
it's to do with delivering the content where the data transfer terminates
abruptly).

Yes definitely. Don't know if prototype is going to be part of the ajax alliance thing but people are starting to do "hosting" of js packages as well, thus enabling more opportunities/likelyhood that the js being served has already been cached.
It's probably poor manners to being percieved as prom
IMHO, the important thing about serving _javascript_ is getting the caching right (that is do content expiration in a away that the browser won't ask the server if the _javascript_ was updated for a certain period of time). For repeated page views on a site or web app, that's the most important per

impossible.

I would disagree with point #2 below. It has been researched(and theoretically proven? don't remember the details anymore..google search would probably turn it up) already that gzip ~may~ not always be as fast for deployment as people seem to think.

I use mod_deflate in my apache httpd to compress the js files. Nearly every modern browser supports contenttype gzip and you get a reduction from about 60 to 80% of the source files. One of the benefits is that you can compress any content (html, css, js ...)... Formerly i also tried js source comp

Here's a batch file I used to compress all my JavaScripts...

I've used jsmin with no problems. Haven't tried it on Windows though.

Sounds promising. I'll see if I can survive the setup ! ;-)

Hi Sam,
I used the compressor that ships with Dojo on a biggish codebase that uses
prototype and scriptaculous, and it worked. Knocked 500K of code down to 340K
if I remember right, but your mileage may vary.
It is Java-based, so should run on windows without a problem. It isn't a
polished GUI
