mobile phones and http compression

kwan · 10-18-2006, 08:02 PM

I'm almost finished developing my first .mobi site and I was wondering if mobile phones support http compression (mod_gzip)? Or maybe they use a different compression method.

I don't think so.

I don't think it would have any effect.. I don't see how it could. Just test it and see what happens.

I'll do that but even if the page shows up I wouldn't know how to test if it has any effect. Anyways, just wondering.

I found these on my travels and not sure whether they can help?

What Dan said!

From http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-gzip/

There is no need to install any additional software on the client!

So there you have it in a nut shell. I'm pretty sure it'll be fine
