Same here. In the case of an integrated HTTP server I simply store the 
HTTP pages as a set of string constants and functions generating dynamic 
portions of. The HTTP server uses no external files. Most pages never 
exist in any moment of time, because the server generates portions of 
them and sends away chunks as soon as possible. For this reason I do not 
compress any pages. It would waste too much resources on a small 
embedded system and does not really matter for a large PC.
