[Rabbit-proxy-users] Rabbit on Pocket PC

[<sta...@la...>]

Hi, 

  I would like to know (if I understand the project goal correctly), if it is possible to do 
such configuration :
 - I have a server which is always connected to Internet through a xDSL link. This 
server is under Debian. I want to run Rabbit on this server.
- I have a pocket pc with a GPRS connection (40kbits/s), which I configure to connect 
to the proxy on the server.

If I understand correctly, whenever I browse the internet via the pocket pc, it will 
automatically download a compressed version of each website, with both pictures 
and text compressed. The real website is downloaded on the server (with, let's say it 
is 100kbytes of data), and the website I'm browsing on the pocket pc is downloaded 
compressed (let's say it is 30kbytes of data), so I can save some bandwidth from my 
GPRS account.

Please tell me if I'm wrong.
Sincerely,
Cyril

Sounds like a good configuration for rabbit.

Yes, assuming that you use a rabbit configuration that does compression
(like the default config).

The only thing that could be a problem is if your version of pocket IE
(or whatever web browser you use) does not support gzip compression.
For what I know pocket opera did not do it a few years ago, but nowdays
I think all of them do it.

Have fun
