Automatically apply compression on selected mime types
------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-1166
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1166
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Configuration, WMS
Affects Versions: 1.5.1
Reporter: Andrea Aime
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Fix For: 1.5.2, 1.6.0
Out of the box we don't compress various highly compressible mime types, such as GML, GeoRSS, KML, javascript.
This is ok on a local network, but it's bad on the internet where we take quite a performance hit due to the extra size of the data we deliver.
We should make it so that if the IP requesting data is not on the local network, then we compress data.
This automatic behaviour should be configurable, so that people with more complex network setups (proxies and the like) can decide
to perform the compression otherwise.
The idea is to be smart out of the box, since most of the times web containers are poorly configured.
Some directions on how to implement such a filter are here:
