Rob Walker commented on FELIX-3591:
-----------------------------------
Looks like a useful enhancement to me.
> The HTTP client does not accept gzip encoding when retrieving obr repositories

> Key: FELIX-3591
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3591
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Bundle Repository (OBR)
> Affects Versions: bundlerepository-1.6.6
> Reporter: Frank Lyaruu
> Priority: Minor
>
> OBR repository metadata can be pretty big and it is very compressable (for
> larger repositories I'm seeing a factor of more than 20), so it can save a
> lot of time and bandwidth if it can be compressed.
> I use a OBR virtual repository on Nexus. Nexus will compress the obr data if
> the client adds the Accept-Encoding gzip header. So if the bundle repository
> could add that header (and deal with compressed data) that would help me a
> lot.
