Hi there,

I've seen a few queries in the list archives about this.  This is what
I use:

GZIP_PAT = re.compile('^Mozilla/[5,6,7,8,9]|.*MSIE [6,7,8,9].*')

def gzip_response(resp):
    accepts = web.ctx.env.get('HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING',None)
    if accepts and accepts.find('gzip') > -1:
        browser = web.ctx.env.get('HTTP_USER_AGENT',None)
        if browser and GZIP_PAT.match(browser): #ok to compress for
this browser
            web.webapi.header('Content-Encoding','gzip')
            zbuf = cStringIO.StringIO()
            zfile = gzip.GzipFile(mode='wb', fileobj=zbuf,
compresslevel=9)
            zfile.write(resp)
            zfile.close()
            data = zbuf.getvalue()
            web.webapi.header('Content-Length',str(len(data)))
            web.webapi.header('Vary','Accept-Encoding', unique=True)
#don't vary by user-agent, defeats caching
            return data
    return resp

class foo:
        def GET(self,whatever):
                ...
                print gzip_response( render.foo( whatever ))
