compress code doesn't work!?
Mhh...,

is it true that the compress code function (removal of whitespaces an linebreaks) in Admin > Setup > Build Options doesn't work (L3.0.1.) although it is set to Yes?

Hi,

Which page is not being compressed? Or, is it all of them?

Cheers

No page is compressed. (see Source-Codes here: http://www.shop-netz.de )

..but I asked because I'm not sure whether this is a bug in Links or just a result of my extended use of includes.

Right after transition on GL 3.0 Compress has ceased to work. And at 3.01 this bug has remained.
Can check up here or here. Compress everywhere it is by default switched on!

It is a piece of a code from the domain using GL 3.01.
Code obviously not compressed!

It is a piece of a code from the domain using Links SQL 2.1.2:


<br> <table bgcolor="#ffffcc" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <form action="http://www.bigpat.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi" method="post" name="frmSearch"> <tr><td> <table cellpadding=6 cellspacing=0 border=0 width="100%"> <tr><td><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size=2 color="black">Looking for something in particular?</font> <input type="text" size=20 name="query"> <input type=submit value="Search!"> </td><td align=right> <font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size=2 color="black"><small><a href="http://www.bigpat.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi">More search options</a></small></font></td></tr> </table></td></tr> </form> <tr><td bgcolor="#ffcc00" height=3 width="100%"> <img src="http://www.bigpat.com/images/default/ClearShim.gif" width=745 height=1 border=0></td></tr> </table></td></tr> <tr><td colspan=2 align=center><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size=2 color="black"><center>Sponsor: <a href="http://www.dirlist.net/" title="Directory of web sites that allows users to rate and review sites">Directory of web sites that allows users to rate and review sites. Add your link today.</a></center></font><br></td></tr> <tr><td width="6" bgcolor="black"><img src="http://www.bigpat.com/images/default/BlackShim.gif" width=6 height=20 border=0></td> <td> <table border=0 width="745" cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0> <tr bgcolor="#ffcc00"><td colspan=2 valign=middle><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size=2 color="black">

I think, that the difference is appreciable. Here the code is really compressed.

To a browser and size wise it's the same thing. It's just slightly more readable to a human now.

PS: You'll save a lot more in bandwidth by using mod_gzip than you'll get with the compress option.

I include an opportunity of compression that it was more difficult to another understand my code of page.
Now this advantage is absent, it is a pity.
