Further to this is there any way to look at the response while in the Gzipfilter and prevent gzipping if the response is 403 (or any other error code for that matter)?
I think resin 2.1.17 is servlet 2.2 which has not got a response.getStatus() method, but given that you can specify the error page for given error codes in web.xml, there must be some way that the container is able to figure out the status. I was wondering if I could tweak the GZIPFilter class to use the same means of interrogating the response status. If all else fails I can just disable gzipfiltering till we are able to upgrade but I would prefer not to.
