[jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-4792) Using GZip compression for js/css files

["Jacques Le Roux (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4792?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13249504#comment-13249504 ] 

Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-4792:
----------------------------------------

You are missing a point Mandeep.

OFBiz is already compressing text files. This is done through the embedded Tomcat. See in ofbiz-containers.xml
{code}
<property name="compressableMimeType" value="text/html,text/xml,text/plain"/>
<property name="compression" value="on"/>
{code}

Reference: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html

So my proposition was only to add an yui-compressor-ant-task to compress those files as described here http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/

> I was wondering if it is possible to reduce the size of external javascript's/css files being fetched by making use of GZip encoding.
> The feeding server does understand and responds to GZip encoding, however Ofbiz is not requesting the content in GZip format.
> Kindly include this feature so that Ofbiz will include the GZip encoding option in the http header while requesting the external javascript file ?
> Also, if possible integrate the compressor module
