You are missing a point Mandeep.
OFBiz is already compressing text files. This is done through the embedded
Tomcat. See in ofbiz-containers.xml
{code}
<property name="compressableMimeType" value="text/html,text/xml,text/plain"/>
<property name="compression" value="on"/>
{code}
Reference: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html
So my proposition was only to add an yui-compressor-ant-task to compress js/css
files as described here
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/
Note that for bigest files we already use compressed versions (ending by min.js, see framework/common/widget/CommonScreens.xml and
specialpurpose/ecommerce/widget/CommonScreens.xml)

created Jira 4792
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4792
but still this will only compress the files Jacques, what if the
application is consuming external jss/css files, if the remote server has
the capability to server GZip encoded content to the requesting client,
we'd need to send the GZip encoding option in the http header for which I
believe Ofbiz needs to be touched.
Correct me if I am wrong.

You could create a Jira and contribute https://cwiki.apache.org/**

this
would be appreciated of course, not only for eCommerce BTW...

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to reduce the size of external
javascript's being fetched by making use of GZip encoding.
The feeding server does understand and responds to GZip encoding, however
Ofbiz is not requesting the content in GZip format.
Can anybody please guide me as to what all modifications I need to make so
that Ofbiz will include the GZip encoding option in the http header while
requesting the external javascript file ?
Regards,
Mandeeep Sidhu
