Gzipping gadgets

[artemy tregoubenko <at...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I found that shindig in default configuration doesn't gzip its output.  
This is sad, as javascript code in inlined in html and even simpliest  
gadget's size is tens of kilobytes. I've found traces of intention to  
minify this code (potential post-processing in Gadjet.java and SHINDIG-52:  
Use Maven Javascript Plugin to enable better builds), however no mention  
of gzipping. Unfortunately I cannot write a patch, as i've never touched  
world of java web-servers.

Should I create an issue in Jira, or this is not considered an issue at  
all?

Compression is usually configured in your servlet container (e.g. Tomcat)
rather than writing the code yourself. We do still need to minify the
javascript, though there is an open JIRA issue for that already.
