[jira] Commented: (WAGON-264) compressed tarball download problems

["Lee Thompson (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/WAGON-264?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=174975#action_174975 ] 

Lee Thompson commented on WAGON-264:
------------------------------------

I believe the problem is the wagon-http-lightweight is ignoring the DECLINED:FEXT_GZ status code returned by mod_gzip.  When this error code is seen, mod_gzip passed on dynamic compresson since the request is for an already compressed gzip file.

Wagon requesting mod_gzip on ZIP and JAR files doesn't seem to trigger this behavior.  It would be an optimization to not ask for compression on JAR and ZIP files as these files are compressed but mod_gzip doesn't seem to know that.  Double compressing consumes time on both the client and server with no decrease in download payload (download sometimes increases somewhat)
