I need to move 10s of megabytes of data streams over SOAP using HTTP. I'm sending the data via mime attachment and data handler. I'ld like to keep the data handler stream clean and not artificially gzip it. HTTP supports Accept-Encoding "gzip".
Is there a clean way to automatically gzip the mime attachment data stream such that the essence of the data handler isn't corrupted? I've seen a few discussions on this scattered about, and in general the tone was that that wasn't the business of SOAP per se but the transport protocol, i.e. HTTP. But the SOAP servlet needs to be able to hand out a gzip stream if Accept-Encoding is set to "gzip". ... ???? ... Any and all clues welcome, Thanks, Heitzso
