I see that there were numerous requests to have gzipped files served via
mongoose. This is my solution, as I also needed to serve content from my
embedded equipment through a sloooow GPRS link. The concept is as follows:
Check request header for Allow-Encoding:gzip, if it is found, then when you
want to open the file to send, check if there is a copy of the same file with a
'.gz' extension, if so, serve that one instead, update the Content-Length
parameter to reflect the shorter file and add an extra line 'Content-Encoding:
gzip\r\n' to the response header.
The attatched file is my attempt at providing this feature, to use it,
replace the 'handle_file_request()' function in mongoose.c with my version,
NOTE! Not implemented for ssi.
Have tested it in windows (VC6) and on linux on arm9 embedded platform.
