session with output compression?

Hi List,

I wanna use PHP's session management with output compression,
but I have the following problem:

Session-IDs are not automatically appended to URLs. :-(

The compression works fine and makes the page nice for slow internet
connections.

The session management works also fine, but only with cookies :-(

I guess the problem is that PHP can not append SID in (g)ziped output!?...

But is there a way to get this work with output compression?

Any hints would be great!


Regards,
Matthias

I don't think this is the problem, but I might be wrong. Are you saying
that if you disable compression, everything works fine?

What is the value of session.use_trans_sid?

This was definitely an issue in the 4.0.6 days, that is transparent sessions
do not work when using compression. But IIRC this was fixed in some later
version.
