Mozilla and Apache Saving Bandwith

Marcos Hauer writes "I've just stumbled over a Real Good Thing (TM) in the Mozilla site: HTTP Compression. They tell us that Mozilla can request compressed data from Apache servers, receive the content gziped and decompress it on the fly. Ah, and they have the Apache Module Source too . Way cool! " Several people have asked to have me incorporate this into Slash. It's a valid idea, and I may take a stab at it in the not-so-distant-future. I think it could be done in a few lines of perl anyway.
