Re: XML compression in SOAP messages

[Christoph C. Cemper / privat]

Hi,   good point   AFAIK there is no compression-method for SOAP specified   the WAP-transmissions use a proprietary compress-protocol which is not standardized   also a big bank I heard implemented an own, proprietary compression algorithm on their own - no standard   I would appreciate some infos about a compression-standard that could be implemented on the application level. All those perform a pattern-compression (i.e. LZW,ZIP) on the XML-file and take special care about the XML-syntax, which means it can yield a better compression.   Also the vendors of networking-hardware propose devices that promise a compression of MLs, but those are merely for point-2-point or backbone connections, not for application-level compression..   kind regards, christoph c. cemper ----- Original Message ----- From: Paco Avila To: SOAP User ; SOAP Developer Sent: Monday, August 20, 2001 3:06 PM Subject: XML compression in SOAP messages Hi, is possible to compress the XML sent in a SOAP message?
