Modifying Headers in Internet Explorer

[BLUE SKY THINKER]

Following recent success (HERE) in alleviating compression in Firefox, via a 3G broadband link, can anyone suggest, or recommend a program, to do likewise in Internet Explorer?

I merely want to modify Cache-Control to no-transform.

Thanks.

I'd love to be able to help you, but I barely understand this stuff myself...

Have just spent a few hours writing a very simple, condensed version of my website for mobile users. One thing I did come across was 'Cache-Control' and wondered if I should include this.

The mobile user friendly page is only 3.2KB, with no graphics. I used a mobile emulator like this one to test it, then discovered the opera mini demo. It was here I realised my normal web version wasn't too bad on a mobile device.

I do have a question for anyone who knows about this stuff:

I have a normal 'Contact Us' button on the mobile site, is this the normal way to have a mobile user send me an email, do they have an email client like outlook that would open or would they be left high and dry? (nowhere on my site is my email address visible, except in the source code).

Good luck with your situation.

I've found the dev.mobi site useful in the past.

Does this article help?

Thanks Ken; but I'm looking at this more from the 'customer' (surfer) point of viewer, rather than from the other end.

I want to modify my IE7 browser to send a 'no-transform' message outbound from my laptop.

Ah. The Microsoft Fiddler may help. It's a freeware web debugging proxy which logs all http/https traffic between your computer and the Internet. You can inspect all traffic, set breakpoints, and "fiddle" with incoming or outgoing data.

There's also a list of other useful "toys" on the Get Fiddler page.

Hope that helps.

Cheers Ken, have also been reading up on the w3.org site. I think I have some work to do to understand this stuff.
