Hi Jim,

I want to precise that the EncodeRepresentation automatically sets the "content-encoding" header and keep intact the "content-type" of the wrapped representation. It allows Firefox to decodes on the fly the gzip stream and restore the wrapped representation. If you want to use EncodeRepresentation because it provides the gzip compression service, just take car of setting the right content-type and content-encoding for your representation: Representation representation = new EncodeRepresentation(Encoding.GZIP, new StringRepresentation("Hello World!", MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)); representation.setMediaType(MediaType.APPLICATION_GNU_ZIP);

                       representation.getEncodings().clear();

I hope this will help you.

Hi Jim,

You can have a look at the

com.noelios.restlet.application.EncodeRepresentation class.

So i can use it to wrap an ObjectRepresentation. Will the Encoding i pass across to it override the HTTP content-type header (i.e. if the encoding is set to gzip then the content-type hesader will be application/gzip.
