[Fofredux-devel] gzipped output

[Evan R. <eva...@gm...>]

Hey folks,

1 more day...1 more feature added...

you are now able to simply enable gzipping of output via the options
menu.  for those of you who are not on the same network as your FoFR
server, you'll get a major performance benefit with this option
enabled...increasingly with the amount of feeds you have.

if you want to see how much you are saving, enter the address to your
feeds here: http://www.whatsmyip.org/mod_gzip_test/   (not sure if
this will play nice with the login feature, so you may need to comment
that line out -- in header.php...the first one starting with an 'if')=20
for reference, on my feeds, with 30 items displayed, i am getting
about 60% compression.

todo sometime: set this up to use the zlib functionality, if we're on
a more recent php version...since it is even better compression.

note to devs:
this is all turned on in init.php, but i'm not sure how the output
buffer will play if there is some sort of text before it's turned
on...which is a chicken/egg problem, as we need the flag from the db,
but if we get an error going to the db, then we have some text sent
out.
