Compress::Zlib

[Csongor Fagyal <co...@conceptonline.hu>]

Hi,

This might be a bit off-topic.

I am using Compress::Zlib in Apache::ASP to give me compressed content 
baceuse I am transfering lots of XML data periodically. Now the 
question: how can I fetch zipped content using Perl? If I simply use LWP 
(say LWP::Request::Common), will it automatically tell the server that 
it can accept gzipped encoding? Do I have to set that manually? (It it 
possible at all?)

Another, less off-topic :-)

If I have an include, say include.asp which contains something like
my $variable;
this variable is visible in example.asp if I do
<!--#include file="include.asp"-->
in it.

Will this behaviour change if I se DynamicIncludes to 1?

If you set

          Accept-Encoding: gzip

as an client HTTP header, then you would get gzip output.
But then you might be stuck ungzipping the document body.

Yes, DynamicIncludes is similar to calling the include as

   <% $Response->Include('include.asp'); %>

So you do not see the variables in the same scope.

The nice thing is that includes can be shared between
scripts and only compiled once per process.
