	Gzip (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Gzip is short for GNU Zip, a GNU open-source replacement for the Unix 'compress' program.
		Gzip is based on the 'deflate' algorithm, which is a combination of LZ77 and Huffman coding.
		The Zlib compressed data format, the 'deflate' algorithm and the Gzip file format were standardised respectively as RFC 1950, RFC 1951 and RFC 1952.

	DECS - Gzip
		Gzip is a compression utility that will compress a given file to a smaller size for a greater efficiency in storing and transferring files.
		Gzip can be used to reduce your amount of disk space and to store more files for your personal use.
		Gzip is automatically included in your path, so in order to use gzip all you need to do is type gzip and it's options.

		If the input data is not in a format recognized by `gzip', and if the option --stdout is also given, copy the input data without change to the standard ouput: let `zcat' behave as `cat'.
		If any of the file names specified on the command line are directories, `gzip' will descend into the directory and compress all the files it finds there (or decompress them in the case of `gunzip').
		`gzip' is designed as a complement to `tar', not as a replacement.

		For example: gzip -c file1 > foo.gz gzip -c file2 >> foo.gz Then gunzip -c foo is equivalent to cat file1 file2 In case of damage to one member of a.gz file, other members can still be recovered (if the damaged member is removed).
		For example: for sh: GZIP="-8v --name"; export GZIP for csh: setenv GZIP "-8v --name" for MSDOS: set GZIP=-8v --name On Vax/VMS, the name of the environment variable is GZIP_OPT, to avoid a conflict with the symbol set for invocation of the program.
		The gzip format represents the the input size modulo 2^32, so the --list option reports incorrect uncompressed sizes and compression ratios for uncompressed files 4 GB and larger.

		gzip 1.2.4 may crash when an input file name is too long (over 1020 characters).
		gzip was developed as a replacement for compress because of the UNISYS and IBM patents covering the LZW algorithm used by compress.
		The first version of the compression algorithm used by gzip appeared in zip 0.9, publicly released on July 11th 1991.

		Note about zip vs. gzip: The name 'gzip' was a very unfortunate choice, because zip and gzip are two really different programs, although the actual compression and decompression sources were written by the same persons.
		The gzip header format is deliberately different from that of pkzip to avoid such a constraint.

	164.gzip: SPEC CPU2000 Benchmark Description
		gzip (GNU zip) is a popular data compression program written by Jean-Loup Gailly for the GNU project.
		With the exception of the random data, these components were selected as a reasonably representative set of things that gzip might be most often used on.
		Each input set is compressed and decompressed at several different blocking factors ("compression levels"), with the end result of the process being compared to the original data after each step.

	Info: (gzip.info.gz) Tapes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		6 Using `gzip' on tapes *********************** When writing compressed data to a tape, it is generally necessary to pad the output with zeroes up to a block boundary.
		When the data is read and the whole block is passed to `gunzip' for decompression, `gunzip' detects that there is extra trailing garbage after the compressed data and emits a warning by default if the garbage contains nonzero bytes.
		This option can be set in the `GZIP' environment variable, as in: for sh: GZIP="-q" tar -xfz --block-compress /dev/rst0 for csh: (setenv GZIP "-q"; tar -xfz --block-compress /dev/rst0) In the above example, `gzip' is invoked implicitly by the `-z' option of GNU `tar'.

	[#CACHE-49] Add Http1.1 Compression (GZip) and increase efficiency - OpenSymphony JIRA
		As you may know, all http1.1 compliant browsers must be capable of reading content compressed using gzip (At least that's my understanding - it's mentioned at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2068/rfc2068) This seems to reduce the size of most webpages to about 33% of their original size.
		If the client doesn't support GZIP the content is uncompressed and sent, thus going for option 2 from the original Issue description, since this will save memory and is the most appropriate approach for my usecase.
		I can later on submit a gzip filter for oscache, but I think the first step is to have the cache filter be aware of the potential existence of gzip filters down the filter chain, and behave appropriately in those cases.

	RFC 1952 (rfc1952) - GZIP file format specification version 4.3
		Appendix: Jean-Loup Gailly's gzip utility The most widely used implementation of gzip compression, and the original documentation on which this specification is based, were created by Jean-Loup Gailly .
		When compressing or decompressing a file, gzip preserves the protection, ownership, and modification time attributes on the local file system, since there is no provision for representing protection attributes in the gzip file format itself.
		Since the file format includes a modification time, the gzip decompressor provides a command line switch that assigns the modification time from the file, rather than the local modification time of the compressed input, to the decompressed output.

	GZIP
		Force compression or decompression even if the file has multiple links or the corresponding file already exists, or if the compressed data is read from or written to a terminal.
		If −f is not given, and when not running in the background, gzip prompts to verify whether an existing file should be overwritten.
		In the above example, gzip is invoked implicitly by the -z option of GNU tar.

	! Aware to man pages: gzip(1)
		By default, gzip keeps the original file name and times- tamp in the compressed file.
		When compressing, gzip uses the.tgz extension if neces- sary instead of truncating a file with a.tar extension.
		For exam- ple: gzip -c file1 > foo.gz gzip -c file2 >> foo.gz Then gunzip -c foo is equivalent to cat file1 file2 In case of damage to one member of a.gz file, other mem- bers can still be recovered (if the damaged member is removed).

	ONJava.com: Two Servlet Filters Every Web Application Should Have
		Since checking for GZIP compression support is nearly trivial, it is no problem to have a filter send GZIP-compressed content to only those users that can handle it.
		GZIP compression will usually get you around a 6:1 compression ratio; it depends on how much content you are sending and what the content is. In practice, this means you will send content to a user up to six times faster if you simply use GZIP compression whenever you can.
		The next important part of the GZIP filter code is compressing normal content with GZIP compression.

		The higher the compression level, (gzip normally allows values between 0 and 9), the better the compression effect, but the higher the CPU time consumption as well.
		before we added a new hard drive, we were using the vb gzip within the control panel and staying at around 3 gig per day on the server.
		So now with new hard drive, mod_gzip is installed and I have to disable the vb gzip in the cp.

		Description: A buffer overflow vulnerability was reported in the gzip file compression utility, used by many FTP servers to allow remote users to compress files for download.
		It is reported that many FTP servers use /bin/gzip for file compression and, therefore, allow remote users to execute arbitrary code by invoking gzip on a long file name.
		If the process using gzip is a remote FTP server, then the remote user can execute arbitrary code on the FTP server with the privileges of the FTP server process.

	HTTP Compression Speeds up the Web: WebReference.com
		The idea is to compress data being sent out from your Web server, and have the browser decompress this data on the fly, thus reducing the amount of data sent and increasing the page display speed.
		Netscape 4.5 is the only browser that supports gzip encoding for HTML files even though it communicates via HTTP/1.0.
		However, Netscape 4.x still sometimes fails to decompress gzipped CSS and JavaScript when referenced via separate HTTP calls (embedded in HTML they are okay), so some webmasters have excluded either those MIME types or Netscape 4 from compression (mod_gzip doesn't allow you to "AND" both conditions).
