Compressing the *response* cannot affect anyhow the *request* size ;-) > > So, why would anybody use CompressedResourceReference when > contributing CSS? Is there a resource reference that would strip out > spaces and comments from CSS? CompressedResourceReference uses GZip to squash the text content, so all the rules in zip compression are valid here: - more text content => better compression - compressing binary content => negative effect For CSS (text content) the result size should be less than the original. CompressedResourceReference is removed in Wicket 1.5 because all Web servers support it for all responses by switching a setting in their config.
