Free software distribution ideas

Name: Anonymous 2007-09-11 13:15 ID:mBR3Ay5L

Created a PHP script for gzipping static files to be sent to browsers using Apache on *nix. Now, I don't see this as a major project that'd be worth the time putting on sourceforge or something. But, any ideas on how to distribute it?

The script is run-once, the httpd handles if the requested version is gzip'd or not via httpd.conf, or more much more likely, .htaccess files. I don't see any significant increased resource use. It'd be less load-intensive than dynamically gzip'd PHP pages, even.

Well, even then you can at least specify different compression levels to suit the content being sent. Level 1 for files that don't compress well and you wouldn't want clients taking too long decompressing.
