s3sync transparent compression

[niky81]

Hi,
I'm trying to add transparent compression to s3sync. I've reached something, in the attachment there is a modified s3sync.rb with bzip2 compression and decompression.
It work in this way: when you upload a file to s3, s3sync bzip it and upload, when you download a file to s3, s3sync bunzip it for you automatically.

The program now lack command line options (bzip2 is allways on) and other improvments, if someone is interested I can continue developing it.

Bye

If you use gzip then the compression will likely be a little less, but if you write the correct headers then a web browser (or wget or whatever) will be able to transparently decompress the data - this is probably quite useful..?

I would love to see this patch.  Can you attach it here?  I don't see the attachment.
