I posted last week I tried compression="on" compression="force" and
compression="5" for compress output if > 5 bytes without any success.
Note that your client must send the header "Accept-encoding: gzip" for a
web server to consider you as able to consume it. i use
"Accept-encoding: gzip, compression", e.g.
httpConn.setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding", "compress, gzip")
I'm using a pure java client using the standard java.net API and it is not
working for me.
We communicate with POST, not GET, and our typical response packet size is
> 2k up to 5Meg.
Another person in our group got Httpd 2.0 configed to do this, but with
another web server. I use tomcat, so .....
Next step is probably to build tomcat and try to figure out what its
problem is (in eclipse).
Is your client Java? i suppose i could write a small test app/servlet.
would that be useful?

Subject: GZip compression in 4.1.27 ..
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is a follow-on for a question from last week, but as its now on a
"different-page" of the mailing list. I decided to
post another new questions, so no-one misses it.
1) Below is an original extract of my tomcat 4.1.27 server.xml. I want to
enable compression in my HTTP connector.
I have a customer with v. low bandwidth. I have read the Apache readme
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/coyote.html on
this,
but I am still not 100% clear.
Would I be right in understanding that *ALL* I need to do (in the case of
TC
4.*) is add the following attribute compression="on" ???
<!-- Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8081 -->
<Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
port="8080" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
useURIValidationHack="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" />
<!-- Note : To disable connection timeouts, set connectionTimeout
value
to -1 -->
2) Any suggestions on a way of testing this in our high bandwidth
environment first ?
regards
Ben
