Yes that is correct.  The problem here is that I would then edit the php 
files.  And break my rsync setup :(

The server is behind a link of 8Mbit/s for a whole university.  Meaning 
more than 2000 pc are constantly using it.

I would of course do the rsync at night, but each bit I spare is good.

I think the only solution would be a change upstream of the php website.

Thanks

Hello Rudy,

There is a php.ini prepend file option, maybe this also works with an
.htaccess, so you won't need to change other files (just 1 new php-file and
1 .htaccess).

With kind regards,
