Re: Compressing file uploads with TC 4.1

[David Wall <d....@computer.org>]

There was no response on this before, so I thought I'd check again.  Does 
anbody know if turning compression on in the Coyote HTTP connector will use 
the standard browser/http protocol for submitting data from the browser (for 
file uploads in particular) using gzip?

Thanks,
David
