How did you determine that compression was not being applied? It would help if you told us what Tomcat level you're using. Unfortunately, the comments in server.xml appear to be left over from some past life, so actually reading the documentation is a necessity. There is no compressionMinSize attribute identified in the 4.1, 5.0, or 5.5 docs (or the code, as far as I can tell); if you're using a level older than that, you've got other problems to worry about. For 5.5, the actual description for compression is: ------ The Connector may use HTTP/1.1 GZIP compression in an attempt to save server bandwidth. The acceptable values for the parameter is "off" (disable compression), "on" (allow compression, which causes text data to be compressed), "force" (forces compression in all cases), or a numerical integer value (which is equivalent to "on", but specifies the minimum amount of data before the output is compressed). If the content-length is not known and compression is set to "on" or more aggressive, the output will also be compressed. If not specified, this attribute is set to "off". ------ The doc fails to say what the default minimum compression size is, so I tried compression="force", and all the content now appears properly garbled in Ethereal. Also, take a look at compressableMimeType: ------ The value is a comma separated list of MIME types for which HTTP compression may be used. The default value is text/html,text/xml,text/plain. ------ Note that trying to compress some static content (e.g., jpg, pdf) is a waste of time. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
