I wish it would be possible, unfortunately puppetd uses the stdlib Net::Http library (mostly to limit the client dependencies) which under ruby 1.8 is pretty limited. For instance it doesn't support compression (this is supported in ruby 1.9, though). Although it might be possible to add support for compression easily with this lib: http://griffin.oobleyboo.com/files/http_encoding_helper/http_encoding_helper.rb ---------------------------------------- Feature #3408: Add compression support to puppet client http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3408 Author: Ben - Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: When the puppetmaster is used with nginx, or some other similar server, compression can be easily configured and support should be added to the puppet client to take advantage with used over WAN links. I have had some experience with Juniper WAN optimizers and the stats for compressing puppet comms are quite good and prompted me to request this feature. 25% compression of the puppet sessions is easily achieved by the Juniper devices. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
