I'm using the SmartGWT framework on the Google App Engine for a new project. It works fine for the most part, but for some reason my content is not being gzipped when returned to the client. It's important to me that I have compression enabled, because the javascript files for SmartGWT add up to over 2MB (the full distribution, were I using it, would be well over 3MB).
I've used Fiddler to intercept the request/response headers, and I see that my browsers (I've tried FF3 and Chrome5) are both sending 'Accept- Encoding: gzip,deflate', but the resulting response data is not gzipped, and there is (not surprisingly) no 'Content-Encoding: gzip' header in the response. I should mention that I've also tried this with a servlet filter to compress the data (though I shouldn't have to), but that filter doesn't work because the 'Accept-Encoding' header isn't there when the filter runs - it looks to be getting stripped off by the app engine. What have I done wrong here? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
