Thanks for the suggestions. I moved to HC 4.2 and tested several links and compression appears to work. The only time compression fails is when the URL redirects.
e.g. a) curl -v -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/nri/us-canada-news/Indian-diplomats-daughter-files-lawsuit-seeks-1-5-million-in-damages/articleshow/13047591.cms > test-it.gzip vs b) curl -v -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-05-08/us-canada-news/31626225_1_obscene-emails-lawsuit-krittika-biswas > test-it-b.gzip Note that the link in a) redirects to the link in b). Only the final URL (in b) benefits from compression. Is it possible that compression applies even for redirected URLs? Thanks. Joseph.
