Hoss Man commented on SOLR-856:
-------------------------------
We should probably provide a simple means for recognizing and responding
appropriately to "Accept-Encoding: *" requests out of the box without depending
on support from the servlet container -- but we should make sure this is
relatively easy to disable in the event that the solr administrator already has
a preferred way of dealing with this (ie: a load balancer on the same switch as
solr optimized for handling compression)
the current patch seem lacking to me because disabling the functionality is
currently impossible without forcing people to gut the code. We could add
special config options for it, but frankly using a standalone filter seems like
the best bet: people who understand HTTP enough to want to disable the default
encoding are likely to be comfortable commenting out a filter from the web.xml.
using an existing, robust, "supported", well tested, filter for this found
online certainly seems preferable to trying to roll our own.
