[ijbswa-devel] Some more things ...

[Guy <gl...@ya...>]

1) My sincerest appology to Magnus for misspelling your name in a recent post!

2) Thank you Haroon for mentioning the "old mailing list" at groups.yahoo.com in one of those "noreply" things this list now receives.  I did not know such a group had existed and was unaware of the history beind this project.  For me it cleared up much confusion.

Of the 500+ that I read, there is one memorable quote from a user that I found most amusing:

"I do not regard an animated monkey flying backwards and forwards across my screen as low pressure advertising."

... I just love that.

3) To help address the efficiency issues of content filtering, I'd like to point out that I never saw any follow up on Stefan's note about a version of the proxy that adds GZIP compression for the benefit of its users:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/junkbuster-users/message/1219

Since (IMHO) GZIP seems to be the most widely used HTTP compression (both from host sites and acceptable by browsers) perhaps it would be possible to:
    - Only accept GZIP compression, removing any others from the client Accept header.
    - Decompress prior to filtering
    - If nothing had to be filtered, send the originally received GZIP content.
    - Else, re-compress the filtered results and send the client fresh GZIP content.

Guy.
