gzip compression: howto

[iAlex]

Right now that is irrelevant because it's not working at all. *HELP*

But good point nonetheless, I am aware of that, however.

Be ideal to be able to set this on for certain user groups - I want a hack to allow VB GZIP for moderators but NOT for ordinary users (as the CPU load is too high) - anyone help?

Ok.. I would love some help on this. I run vbPortal.. Ok no big deal, but the front page is not gzip enabled.

So I figure to make it gzip enabled you put the

ob_start("ob_gzhandler");

at the beginning of the index.php

and

ob_clean_end();

at the end of the index.php file.. Right?

Well, it just gives me a totally blank page.

Any thoughts on this? yes, I could post over at vbPortal, but I think it's more of an "any external page to vBulletin" kind of answer correct?

Thanks for all the help

Josh

Is there a way we can tell is our host support gzip or not? :glasses:
