[jira] [Commented] (FELIX-3591) The HTTP client does not accept gzip encoding when retrieving obr repositories

["Frank Lyaruu (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3591?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13461491#comment-13461491 ] 

Frank Lyaruu commented on FELIX-3591:
-------------------------------------

Adding the following lines to openURL(final URLConnection conn) in org.apache.felix.bundlerepository.impl.FileUtil seems to do the trick
(before return conn.getInputStream())

conn.setRequestProperty("accept-encoding", "gzip");
conn.connect();
String encoding = conn.getContentEncoding();
if("gzip".equals(encoding)) {
   return new GZIPInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
}

>             Project: Felix
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Bundle Repository (OBR)
>    Affects Versions: bundlerepository-1.6.6

>            Priority: Minor

> OBR repository metadata can be pretty big and it is very compressable (for larger repositories I'm seeing a factor of more than 20), so it can save a lot of time and bandwidth if it can be compressed.
> I use a OBR virtual repository on Nexus. Nexus will compress the obr data if the client adds the Accept-Encoding gzip header. So if the bundle repository could add that header (and deal with compressed data) that would help me a lot.
