[jira] [Created] (COUCHDB-2800) All gzip encoding

Mike McKay created COUCHDB-2800:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: All gzip encoding
                 Key: COUCHDB-2800
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2800
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: New Feature
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: HTTP Interface
            Reporter: Mike McKay


Currently the only way to download compressed results from couchdb is by adding nginx or apache as a proxy, which adds complexity and, at least for me, instability (large replications over slow/unreliable connections die). Since CouchDB is an http server it should be able to respond to requests with gzipped data. For me, this is often an order of magnitude reduction in the amount of data transferred.
