http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37834 Summary: compressableMimeTypes not working properly Product: Tomcat 5 Version: Unknown Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Connector:HTTP AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] the compressibleMimeTypes option for the Http Connector is buggy in that it only allows you to add mime types to the default list, but does not allow you to override the whole list ( remove default ones ). So even if I set compressibleMimetypes = "one/type" the connector would behave as if I had used "text/html,text/xml,text/plain,one/type". The problem lies in Http11Processor prefilling the compressibleMimeTypes array with the defaults, and the setCompressibleMimeTypes method not remove them, but add them. Possible solutions: 1) Have that array default empty. This can work because the parent/using class, Http11Protocol already has the mimetypes within its defaults. 2) Have setCompressibleMimeTypes method empty out the array, as probably expected. Background: Http Compression is a HUGE win for production environments. But there is a bug in IE's handling, that causes it to not decompress content when plugins (flash) ask for it. So those plugins (flash) are stuck with unexpectedly compressed content, bringing your web application to malfunction. Our hope was to turn off compression only for our xml files, so that our flash application could download them appropriately. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
