Yes, most can do, but a lot of people don't (or don't know how to) set it up. The gzip'ing is just part of the benefit. The other part is that you reduce maybe 6+ separate requests into one, and that it adds an Expires: header which essentially means that people will never need to download the javascript more than once per session. I can't take any credit for the idea - I just took what existed in PHP and rewrote it for use on a Perl platform.	[reply]

Ah, I didn't also realize it combines multiple files together. I do that at work with a CPP-like program that understands declarations like ///#include "foo.js". ⠤⠤ ⠙⠊⠕⠞⠁⠇⠑⠧⠊	[reply]

Don't most web servers send compressed data anyway? You'd think so, but even our own Perl Monks doesn't gzip its responses: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl? GET /index.pl?
