Description:
In a preliminar test version of the new service architecture, there were the possibility of compressing the response's content if the user agent supplied a HTTP header saying that it can automatically handle it. Although it was proposed to move this logic to a Filter servlet, may be it is not actually necessary since it can be well done in AbstractService.

The problem is now to find a way for identifying wich response content can be benefited of such encoding. i.e., all xml responses will, but JPEG images not really. May be it should be related to a mapping of "compressable" MIME types, but still needs to figure out the best way of doing it.
