Signed! As I am also working on a webserver (
MotionWS), this would come in extremely handy. Streaming gzip compression is not practically possible without it being built in to mIRC (or scripted!

).
I bet there are plenty of open source solutions for this. If Khaled wants to avoid any licensing, there might be a possibility to split the gzip part into a dll that can be freely downloaded in addition to mIRC.
