How does gzip on vs. gzip off affect the speed of application development? My biggest concern isn't speed of development, it's problems deploying in production. How many people use cherrypy as their web server? And how many people use cherrypy behind a proxy like apache or lighty? How does the gzip filter for apache or lighty react to data that's already been gzipped? > Given that maybe 1% of people are going to be negatively affected by > defaulting this on, and nearly 100% of that 1% will know instantly > what's wrong and how to turn it off, I am very strongly in favour of > defaulting this on, and I believe all counter points raised in this > thread to be contrived at best. Wow... aggressive... What benefit do you have turning it on? The original poster says, "wouldn't pretty much everyone always want gzip compression?", my question is would they? What do they gain from it being on by default vs. needing to be uncommented? > That's my £0.02 Does that make this change on £0.02? > -Rob Jason
