Slawomir Jaranowski updated MWAR-354:
-------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: next-release)
> Generate .gz side-car files for certain resources above WEB-INF/ or in
> WEB-INF/resources
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MWAR-354
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-354
> Project: Maven WAR Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: David Bullock
> Priority: Major
>
> Apache Tomcat 8.0 will automatically send the pre-gzipped version of a
> resource if it finds a .gz version of the file in the WAR. This is
> beneficial since: 1) it saves on CPU cycles; 2) it can leverage the operating
> system to send the file 'directly' from the disk to the network socket with
> as little handling as possible in CPU/RAM. xref the 'Note' on the
> 'compression' attribute documented at
> https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/http.html
> So, I would like MWAR to do generate these pre-gzipped resources for me, at
> build time. Obviously, it need only do so for certain static assets: an
> initial 'by convention' would probably:
> - include *.html, *.jpg, *.png, *.gif, *.css files under the WAR resource
> root or subdirs
> - but exclude those found under /WEB-INF/
> - except if they were specifically found under /WEB-INF/resources/
