Re: [basex-talk] HTTPServer + gzip compression

[Stefan Koch]

Hi Christian,

Thx for your reply.

I'm using the embedded Jett via basexhttp service.

Not using RESTXQ - basic REST is what we need for this project.

Good idea to ask the Jetty devs - I'll try that.

kind regards,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Do you work with an embedded Jetty instance (i.e., did you run
basexhttp), or do you use BaseX as servlet? In the latter case, this
may need to be tackled by the Jetty developers. Did you address this
on their mailing list?

Another alternative could be to include GZIP support in RESTXQ, and
send gzipped responses whenever the client send a corresponding
Accept-Encoding header. I’ll have some more thoughts on that.

Best,
Christian
