Hello!

Is it possible to enable mod_gzip module (or any other compression module / method) on administration interface pages?

Best regards!

hrm,

I seem to remember that there might have been references to it in the index.php

I saw this in a almost nothing to see here move along silence from all my go no where goole ez.no searches ...

http://www.ez.no/bugs/view/5417

I'd wager a guess that eZ publish does have support in there (index.php/base classes) for mod_gzip to all of eZ publish not just the administrator.

How compatible that is or simple to use or how it breaks .. (eek) I'd love to hear ...

and don't forget all those classes supporting it ...

eZForwardCompressionHandler	: Handles files compressed with gzip
eZGZIPCompressionHandler	: Handles files compressed with gzip
eZGZIPShellCompressionHandler	: Handles files compressed with gzip using the shell commands
eZGZIPZLIBCompressionHandler	: Handles files compressed with gzip using the zlib extension

from the eZ publish api documentation:
http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/classeZGZIPCompressionHandler.html
http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/annotated.html (search list for gzip related components)

i think it's called with something like "ob_gzhandler", these child links show example implementations to using this functionality (in part):
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Apubsvn.ez.no+ob_gzhandler&btnG=Google+Search

It's funny they are both parts from the same extension but they do two things well in different places (not sure wuwt?) neways .. one uses a ini setting and another uses apache / php configuration variable state detection / checking.

I think the best would be to combine both of these methods for flexibility, are the features supported, does the settings call for it.

I finally found the threads I was thinking of ... see bard's pointing out of the obvious ;)

Thanks for reply, I've changed

ob_start();

in index.php to:

if ( strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip') )
{
  if ( extension_loaded('zlib') )
  {
    ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
  }
}
else {
  ob_start();
}

And it works ;) We will see how long ;)

I'm using mod_gzip and it works too. Havent benchmarked against ob_handler.

Have you considered submit your fix to ez to inclusion (maybe with a ini setting) ?

Slick, Thanks!

I think this has merit and should be given consideration for inclusion into eZ publish 3.

I think it's funny, this feature was in 2.x, I wonder why they (eZ sys) has omitted it from 3.x?

Will they consider the feature now? or justify (or explain) it's exclusion?

You can cut the anticipation with a ... wait!?
How do you cut a immaterial abstract?
