If bandwidth is your issue then why not just zip them up look at Apache-GzipChain-0.06 === Subject: Re: stripping CRLF on the way out? From: Paul Lindner <plindner@redhat.com> Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 07:52:33 -0700 Try running HTML::Clean on your template, instead of using CPU for every request to strip output. I've done this with some success on a few projects.. Also, Apache::ASP users can activate HTML::Clean to post-process all HTML output, which can result in 20-40% savings. I read somewhere that 5 bytes is equivalent to 1ms on a 28.8 connection, so these types of optimizations are generally worth the effort. === Subject: Re: stripping CRLF on the way out?

If you are using templates, why not strip them offline? I use HTML::Clean on the my HTML::Templates. A Makefile keeps the working version up to date with respect to the source. === Subject: Re: stripping CRLF on the way out?

Don't forget that modems can be clever too. Most do their own data compression on the fly, so you may not get the improvement you expect. If there's less redundancy in the data, there's less to compress away. ===
