| Compressed HTML page, "submit"ted: Is upload compresse I'm wondering, if one implements www page compression on an IIS 7 server (the pages front-end a database, actually), and a user makes changes to the page and re-submits it (via Form.submit), is that uploaded page compressed (since the original page was), or is it sent plaintext?
(By default for a modern IE browser.)
Thanks for any info! |

| Re: Compressed HTML page, "submit"ted: Is upload compr How a page is received from a server does not affect how the form is sent back.
IE is not a modern browser. |

The page is never sent back. The form fields may be transmitted back but usually is only a small fraction of what the total page was. Compression would be almost negligible in many cases and I don't believe browsers support compression POST requests like they would do with responses. You could possibly write your own compression and decompression if you were handling both sides of the conversation (e.g. a client/server custom application), but if you are writing a generic web application that uses a browser, then don't worry about it. |

In related news, Steve Jobs thought Microsoft Windows was an inferior product. News at 11. He's the HTML evangelist for Firefox. His job is to put down IE and talk up how Firefox is superior.

Note that no where in that definition does supporting the latest standard imply modernness. IE9, being the currently maintained release, by definition is a modern browser. |

1) Um. I use Chrome
2) IE is inferior. Known, provable, verifiable. Every web developer knows that.

Yep. That's what he meant I guess. You win. Feel proud of yourself now? |

2. No arguments. But inferior or superior doesn't have any relationship to modernness. HTTP compression has been around forever and has been supported by any browser for a very long time.

| I get it now. I thought you were referring to me, not Paul. I apologize for the backlash. However, despite Paul being a FF evangelist, his points are all true and correct. |
