right, I checked the 4.1 docs and removed the MimeTypes attribute and it still doesn't compress.
So i set compression="5" to have it compress any output length > 5 bytes be compressed. still didn't work. any other hints? thanks much for your replies. >Yet another reason to upgrade Posted this problem last week: I tried tomcat 5 (jdk142) and 5.5 (jdk15) but our servlet doesn't return any output (compression disabled) from a POST (content-length always 0), I'm assuming we have to recompile w/the new servlet-api.jar, or we are having some other strange runtime problem. this production servlet works on a number of web servers since 2000. The output is persisted to a file, so i know that much works, just not returned to the client. nothing in logs. I understand this type of queston is too open ended .... to get any response. sorry.

Hi, >I looked at the docs and added to my 8080 non-SSL Connector in server.xml >(tomcat 4.1.3) the following: > > compression="force" > compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,*/*" Look at the docs again. The attributes for Tomcat 4.1 and 5.x are different. The former doesn't have a compressableMimeTypes attribute. Yet another reason to upgrade.
