DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM FIXED:
-----------------------------

   AXESTS REQUIRES THAT THE HTTP/1.1 PROTOCOL IS USED FOR COMMUNICATION
   BETWEEN THE BROWSER AND THE AXESTS HOST SERVER. ALTHOUGH ALL MODERN
   BROWSERS SUPPORT HTTP/1.1 MANY PROXY SERVERS DO NOT SUPPORT IT, OR
   SUPPORT IT IN A NON-COMPLIANT MANNER, AND CONVERT HTTP/1.1 REQUESTS
   INTO HTTP/1.0. THIS CAUSES AXESTS TO SEND THE MESSAGE:
     AXS8401 - HTTP/1.1 IS REQUIRED FOR AXESTS.

   AXESTS USES GZIP COMPRESSION TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF DATA SENT OVER
   THE NETWORK. ALL MODERN BROWSERS SUPPORT GZIP COMPRESSION VIA THE
   ACCEPT-ENCODING HTTP HEADER HOWEVER MANY PROXY SERVERS EITHER
   REMOVE THE HEADER OR CHANGE THE HEADER TO AN INVALID VALUE. THIS
   BEHAVIOUR IS NON-COMPLIANT AND CAN CAUSE THE AXESTS CLIENT TO HANG
   DURING THE TERMINAL LOADING STAGE.
   PARSING ERROR WHEN POSTING CHANGES TO AUTOGUI RULES.


CORRECTION:
-----------

   THIS PTF ALLOWS AXESTS TO WORK WITH THE HTTP/1.0 PROTOCOL.

   THIS PTF ALLOWS AXESTS TO WORK WITH MOST NON-COMPLIANT PROXY
   SERVERS.

   A NEW TERMINAL SERVER DIRECTIVE IS SUPPLIED:

   - DEFAULT VALUES ARE SHOWN IN PARENTHESES ()
   - MANDATORY VALUES ARE MARKED WITH AN ASTERISK *

   COMPRESSTS=(1)

         SPECIFIES WHETHER STATIC DATA IN THE <PROD-DIR>/TS DIRECTORY SENT
         TO THE CLIENT IS COMPRESSED. STATIC DATA IS CACHED BY THE AXESTS
         SERVER DURING START-UP AND INCLUDES THE JAVASCRIPT FILES THAT
         COMPRISE THE AXESTS CLIENT.

         ALLOWABLE VALUES ARE 0, 1, OR 2. THE DEFAULT VALUE IS 1.

         0 (ZERO) DISABLES COMPRESSION AND CAUSES AN UNCOMPRESSED CACHE
         TO BE USED. USING AN UNCOMPRESSED CACHE WILL CAUSE MORE DATA TO
         BE SENT OVER THE NETWORK.

         1 ENABLES COMPRESSION AND CAUSES A COMPRESSED CACHE TO BE
         CREATED. CACHED DATA WILL BE UNCOMPRESS DYNAMICALLY IF THE
         BROWSER CLIENT INDICATES IT CANNOT ACCEPT COMPRESSED DATA.
         THIS SETTING MAY INCREASE THE CPU USED BY THE AXESTS SERVER
         IF MANY CLIENTS INDICATE COMPRESSION IS NOT SUPPORTED.

         2 CAUSES BOTH COMPRESSED AND UNCOMPRESSED CACHES TO BE
         CREATED. IF THE CLIENT INDICATES IT CAN ACCEPT COMPRESSED
         DATA THE COMPRESSED CACHE WIL BE USED OTHERWISE THE
         UNCOMPRESSED CACHE WILL BE USED. THIS SETTING WILL INCREASE
         THE AMOUNT OF STORAGE USED BY THE AXESTS SERVER BY AN AMOUNT
         EQUAL TO THE UNCOMPRESSED SIZE OF THE <PROD-DIR>/TS
         DIRECTORY.

         DATA COMPRESSION IS USED ONLY IF THE BROWSER INDICATES IT CAN
         ACCEPT COMPRESSED DATA VIA THE ACCEPT-ENCODING HTTP HEADER.
