Bug#755541: ITP: libcgi-compress-gzip-perl -- CGI with automatically compressed output



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Robin Sheat <robin@catalyst.net.nz>

* Package name    : libcgi-compress-gzip-perl
  Version         : 1.03
  Upstream Author : Chris Dolan <cdolan@cpan.org>
* URL             : https://metacpan.org/release/CGI-Compress-Gzip
* License         : Artistic or GPL-1+
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description     : CGI with automatically compressed output

CGI::Compress::Gzip extends the CGI module to auto-detect whether the
client browser wants compressed output and, if so and if the script
chooses HTML output, apply gzip compression on any content header for
STDOUT.  CGI::Compress::Gzip is intended to be a drop-in replacement for
CGI.pm.

Apache mod_perl users may wish to consider the Apache::Compress or
Apache::GzipChain modules, which allow more transparent output
compression than this module can provide. However, as of this writing
those modules are more aggressive about compressing, regardless of
Content-Type.
