We have a Linux server running Tomcat 4.1.30, serving jsp pages. We have tried to enable gzip compression by the addition of the compression="on" attribute to the server.xml file. We've seen some odd results. First of all we couldn't get any compression to take place (using Fiddler to monitor responses). We spent along time tweaking the settings, mainly the compressableMimeType list. Eventually we witnessed some compressed results, but a few moments later it wasn't working again with no changes from ourselves. This happened on more than one occasion.
The interesting thing is that we have another test server on a Windows Server OS on which the compression works fine. JRE version is 1.4.2 if that's of any relevance. Any help greatly appreciated... ********************************************************************************************************* This e-mail is confidential, the property of NDS Ltd and intended for the addressee only.
