[Javascript] JavaScritpt simple compression code

[Eligio Morgado]

Kim, I use IIS.

I have been doing some tests, and the code performs up to 90 fSend( )
calls.It means that original text to send is 90 times bigger than max
url length.

So, if i can reduce, for example, 30% the original string, I will
*only* perform 67 calls. Process will continue being very slow but...
