[Javascript] JavaScritpt simple compression code

[Eligio Morgado]

Hi Hakan.

I have not found any way to send as POST. 

I have been doing lot of test and I can affirm that code works with GET and IIS.

This code will always run on my Internet server (IIS) and my users
always navigate with iexplorer. That's why I don't need to make code
cross-browser compatible.

Belive me that I don't like the way I do the things. My first idea was
do hidden posts. I have tried lot of bizarre ways, iframes, popups...
lot of time trying to find the way.

Finally my code works. But as I expected, it takes lot of time for
doing the GETs. Sometimes I need to split the original string in 90
pieces!! Imagine: split, send a part, wait for ASP processing, process
ASP returning.... and start again... split, send a part....

I'm googling and I have found many solutions for compression. What do
you think about using LZ for compressing the string??

The algorithm seems to be easy and quick. I don't mind in wasting 5-6
secons (for example) compressing the string if this reduce the number
of GETS.
