Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-4792:
----------------------------------------
You are missing a point Mandeep.
OFBiz is already compressing text files. This is done through the embedded
Tomcat. See in ofbiz-containers.xml
{code}
<property name="compressableMimeType" value="text/html,text/xml,text/plain"/>
<property name="compression" value="on"/>
{code}
Reference: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html
So my proposition was only to add an yui-compressor-ant-task to compress those
files as described here http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/
> Using GZip compression for js/css files

> I was wondering if it is possible to reduce the size of external
> javascript's/css files being fetched by making use of GZip encoding.
> The feeding server does understand and responds to GZip encoding, however
> Ofbiz is not requesting the content in GZip format.
> Kindly include this feature so that Ofbiz will include the GZip encoding
> option in the http header while requesting the external javascript file ?
> Also, if possible integrate the compressor module
