I would not change this default. GZIP (or other kinds) of response compression are better addressed as servlet filters. Having the Tomcat feature is good, but IMHO it should only be enabled by those who need it.

At least in our case we have our own code to deal with this, considering proxying, CDN, buggy browsers, etc.

Hi all,

An enhancement has been opened to enable response compression by default:
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64431

In short, the proposal is to change the default for the Connector's
compression attribute from "off" to "on".

This would be for Tomcat 10 onwards only.

The following would be unchanged:
- compressibleMimeType
- compressionMinSize
- noCompressionStrongETag

It would be helpful to know what the range of views of the user
community are on this proposal.

So, thoughts?

Mark
