Re: [libmicrohttpd] transfer encoding

[Christian Grothoff]

Hi Kay,

If you add that header, *your* application logic must compress the XML,
MHD will not do it for you.  You should consult the libz manual for how
to do this, I don't have a good example for doing this with MHD at hand,
but it's not terribly hard either (if you know C).

Happy hacking!

Christian
