Installation

• Configure the options in gzipstat.html and read the comments at the beginning of this file.
• Optionally: Modifiy the output code.
• Put the file on a web server.
• Make sure the log files are readable for the user the web server runs under. If you run the CGI version of PHP, the log files must be readable for the user PHP runs as.

Alternatives

This program was inspired by mgstat by Michal Suszycki.
There is one difference: gzipstat also takes into account data that was not compressed by mod_gzip (e.g. excluded by configuration). Judge for yourself which calculation you like better. If you don't like my way, use Michael's program instead. It's there, it's working. There is also is a CGI version of it.
