I tried to enable compression in Tomcat 6.0.10:
<Connector port="9080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
maxThreads="50" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="9443"
compression="on"
compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/plain,application/xml,application/octet-stream,application/x-netcdf"
/>
Now I am trying to see if that is working. I am using the Live HTTP Headers
plugin for Firefox, which shows me the HTTP headers. For simplicity, I just
make a request for a static html page, namely one of the tomcat docs:
http://motherlode.ucar.edu:9080/docs/logging.html
GET /docs/logging.html HTTP/1.1
Host: motherlode.ucar.edu:9080
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11)

Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 22376

I would expect to see a header in the response:
Content-Encoding: gzip
but its missing. I assume this means that the content is not compressed.
I also tried compression="force" to no avail. Also, I wonder what this sentance means: "If the
content-length is not known and compression is set to "on" or more aggressive, the output will also be
compressed". What does the output refer to? The "also" implies something else besides the output?
thanks for any help...
