The roxen webserver has had this for a while too, although it only worked
with unix browsers.
What it did was you placed a .gz version as well as the rest of the docs,
and if the client supported gzip'd html, it would send it.
NS4.x under unix supports compressed html, and I'm pretty sure you can
make the windows version do it to with the help of helper apps.. Try that
first though :)
