Tomcat: always do http compression without watch min size

[wakeup]

Hi,

I have an apache tomcat 5.5.17. In my server.xml file I have put

[HTML] <Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"
compression="on"
compressionMinSize="2048000"
noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata"
compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/plain,application/dime"
/>[/HTML]

But, it always compress the response althought it be less than 1kb.
What do I have to do for set a compresionminsize?

Thanksss

Hi,

If you want you can use my (4.x) filter which really does obey the min size that you set (mods obviously remove the link if you wish and put in a note to SM me instead):

[gallery.hd.org...]

In the end I had to play with the code a lot before I trusted it. Note that this also works around a bug (in the JSP spec!) where a filter can be inserted into the data path multiple times, eg on an internal redirect.

Further, this version, using JazzLib, actually has a working flush() so that you can push out partial pages for better responsiveness. This cannot be done with Sun's GZIPOutputStream (yet).
