The other problem with this still stands, however; links don't work because it doesn't look for .html.gz if it can't find .html. > Apache apparently also lets you dynamically gzip them down the line. > (The browser has to send the right headers tho). Yeah, I figured Apache was capable. I *think* you can get WN to do something like that, too. Not sure about the others. > ghughes> As far as *which* window manager, this is something else > You mean web server? Doh.

Alternatively: we could hack dwww to insert references to the .html.gz if you ask for the .html. This would nip everything neatly in the bud (except for having the server in the first place). OTOH, it might require some substantial tweaking avoid touching the /usr/doc/ directories. -- Graham Hughes <ghughes@cs.ucsb.edu> MIME OK, PGP preferred from stddisclaim import footer pgp_fingerprint = "E9 B7 5F A0 F8 88 9E 1E 7C 62 D9 88 E1 03 29 5B"
