Compression, conditional GET

Compression, conditional GET 07/19/2004 02:55 PM

Jason Cook writes for WebMonkey about gzip compression and conditional GET for RSS and Atom feeds.

Both are important for lowering bandwidth use. If I had to rank them, I’d say conditional GET is more important—but I find that there are lots of sites, even some very popular sites, that still don’t support conditional GET.

It looks like most (if not all) of the popular weblog hosting systems support conditional GET, which is very cool. It appears to be mainly custom content management systems used by one or just a few sites that tend not to support it. You can almost count on lack of support if the RSS or Atom feed is generated live by a script instead of being served as a static file.

(Note that I intend no disrespect for people and organizations that develop their own systems—I myself use a custom system written in PHP.)

Conditional Comments

Conditional Comments 04/27/2004 02:43 PM

About Conditional Comments: A handy but pretty obscure feature of Internet Explorer. A special comment format lets only IE see certain HTML / CSS code. So make that Web page look good in Mozilla and Opera, then hide the code necessary for IE in these comments.

Conditional comments have certain advantages over scripting methods of browser detection. When a downlevel browser encounters a downlevel-hidden conditional comment, the browser does not see the inner HTML inside the comment, and the content elements are not downloaded and rendered. This saves both bandwidth and machine resources.

I had never heard of this until Joe showed it to me one day. It's kludge, sure, but it's endorsed kludge and it really is handy.

Creating answers for the requests to the requests to your web server can sometimes be a hassle. 404s are the easiest - with a simple Apache directive, users can be directed to a nice simple page telling them of the error. Most of the others can be handled similarly, but this article might just be a better way.
