henrik, rob....thanks for your answers...
actually, i would like to use squid as a proxy in my setup.
the content from squid is intended to be sent out -wirelessly- by some
means.
which means to say that i would probably want the content to be in deflate
or gzip encoding in order to minimise the volume of data sent over the air.
section 14.11 (content encoding) of rfc2616 says :
"However, a non-transparent proxy MAY modify the content-coding if the new
coding is known to be acceptable to the recipient, unless the
"no-transform" cache-control directive is present in the message."
my question is, if the content in squid is not in deflate/gzip format, is
squid able to deflate/gzip the content before sending it out?
henrik, the patch you mentioned is for transfer encoding?
how abt content encoding? deflate encoding?
i'm very very new to this so please correct me if i'm wrong......
thanks lots for any answers.
Regards,
Sharon Chua

I think I've done that, but I had nothign to test it with for
interoperability :]
