[Zope-dev] RAMCacheManager and gzip

[Adrian Hungate]

Ok, I stand corrected (and with egg on my face for abusing zlib). The moral
of the story is that zlib.compress(data) is NOT the same as gzip <data
>browser (Which I guess I should have known). Thanks for the pointer Jan!

I think I have figured out what I did wrong, but I now have compression
working for IE

If anyone wants the patch to play with, drop me a line (It's a file to add
to the PatchKit folder. PatchKit auto-loads all patches it finds - just
restart Zope, or refresh PatchKit).
