Please allow using gzipped log files

[jech]

Under many Linux distributions, logfiles are compresses after a few days. It would be convenient if goacess could transparently decompress such compressed log files.

Possible ways to fix this:

1. Actually manage your server so it does not do things you don't want it to do.
2. Pipe the output of zcat instead of the actual log files to goaccess.

Yes, I know about the workaround. I'm just saying that it would be convenient if goaccess could decompress on the fly.

Hi @jech

Perhaps you can a fuse filesystem that have to support that. I find fuse-bgzip here.

@jech Thanks for suggesting this. I can look into this. I'm guessing it will require to build --with-zlib, it shouldn't be too bad. @0bi-w6n-K3nobi Thanks for sharing those workarounds, certainly did not know the fuse-bgzip :)
