[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFCORE-346) Serve gzip encoded resources

[Stuart Douglas (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-346?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13273693#comment-13273693 ] 

Stuart Douglas commented on WFCORE-346:
---------------------------------------

I don't think this actually belongs in core, as the management console already compresses resources. This sounds like an Undertow RFE to allow the default servlet to automatically serve .gz encoded resources.

> Generally you want two things to happen:
> # serve files using #sendfile
> # serve gzipped versions resources
> Compressing resources in memory saves bandwidth but is suboptimal since the whole resource needs to be loaded into memory.
> Jetty implements this like this:
> - if the Accept-Encoding includes "gzip" 
> - and there is a ".gz" version of the file (eg. you request "style.css" and there is "style.css.gz")
> then the ".gz" version is served.
