I have a website with no ssi, php, cgi...nothing. Plain old flat pages are
all it serves.
I need to upload a list to it - a big, plain text list in html. A 2Mb list!
With gzip compress, it comes down to 91Kb, much more modem-friendly!
After about 30 minutes of googling, I haven't yet found a way of serving
this page up like this.
I can't send headers as no php or .htaccess is allowed. Any ideas?
And please don't suggest I move to a "proper" web host! It's for a friend
with a one-off need for a small website for about 2 months, and the freebie
10Mb is fine :)

Not sure if I understand things correctly, but can't you
serve a regular html page in which you link (a href=) to the
gzip file? I thought that way it automatically would
download to the user's pc, where some unzipper will take
care of it.

Depending on the content of the list and the expected number of hits,
I'd be happy to host it temporarily on my server (ADSL, so 91KB would
take about 4 seconds to pull off it). Other pages on your friend's site
could then link to the list on my server.
Mail me if interested - I'll want to know what the list is!

Note that due to a modem's on the fly V42 compression, the uncompressed
file ends up being compressed by a factor 4 approx.

If all visitors to the site have Javascript enabled, you could use
client-side compression: http://www.dithered.com/javascript/c...ion/index.html
Alternatively, provide two copies of file for download, one with an
..html.gz extension (assuming the server is properly configured to
recognize .gz) and one with an .html extension, and let visitors choose
which version they would like to get.

Thanks for all the replies - this last one looks very cunning - but is very
heavy on the old cpu!
We got it sorted in the end - just stripping out all the tags and stuff.
Thanks for the offer of hosting the files etc. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi there
i am creating a clan website in ASP and am making a page serving
script
a link sends a query to the default page and then serves the page by
grabbing the HTML from a database that refers to the pageID.
this works like a peach whenever the page is just HTML
e.g. http://www.deathworld.net/camel2.0/default.asp?id=2

I do not understand why any site manager would prohibit DAPs. To the
