[Zope] zlib (zip a file)

[Tino Wildenhain]

Hi Belen,

first you might want to use the zipfile module.
Second, from what I know at least IE does not
handle multipart documents. And as such, you have
to give a mime type for each part. And compressed
pages are obviously not text/html but rather
application/x-zip or something like that.
Sorry for not beeing more specific here, but
I dont have the time for more research now.
Hope you get the right direction.
Either use a single document, so you have to set
headers directly or you might look at the mime
module. If its dtml you want to compress, you
have to call it to render: document(_,_.None)
(iirc)
