Tested and working - but can anything be done to reduce http requests?

I don't know where my previous comment went...

Anyway, it seemed to be working, but now I've installed fckeditor and everything has slowed to a crawl.

I was wondering whether it was ever working in the first place as your instructions in the readme say:

4 - Optional: test the script is working. Insert in the address bar of your browser of choice
http://yoursite/modules/smartcache/load.php?file=misc/drupal.js
This should give you a copy of drupal.js. If that is the case, proceed at step 6,
else check "About the $baseDir parameter" and "Troubleshooting" sections below.

Do you mean go to step 5 instead of step 6? Otherwise I don't think I enabled anything anyway!

Sorry for the wait... Have you solved your problem, meanwhile?

If not, to check for gzipping: you could install Firebug (and YSlow) for Firefox.

It has a nice "Net" tab wich gives you extended statistics on your connections.
If you have it, you can check if js files are delivered gzipped.

BTW, I also use fckeditor and it is huge: about 250k not zipped and around 50 after gzipping.

About your comment about readme.txt:

sorry for my english, it's not my native language.
What I meant is: if you see drupal.js the script is working.

Please note: the SCRIPT is working. This doesn't guarantee that the redirect rule on .htaccess is functioning properly.

Let me know any news.

Thank you for using this module!

Thanks for getting back to me. There's nothing wrong with your English! Only that the instructions read 'Go to Step 6' when I think you meant 'Step 5'...

Actually I enabled 'Deflate' instead and didn't use your module in the end - when I implemented 'Step 5' (which I didn't do the first time because instructions read 'Go to step 6') none of my css files would load.

Would have liked it to work but am now getting grade 'B' from Yslow using the js aggregator module, the css aggregator option (didn't realise had to unload this and reload it everytime you add a new module/make a change to css file) and AutoDeflate in .htaccess.

Good luck with the module anyway!

Updated readme.txt.

Thanks for your point!
