When you serve up a Cloud Storage object directly from Cloud Storage, you can certainly pre-gzip the content and make sure it's served with the correct 'Content-Encoding'. The reference to this is at:
https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/reference-headers#contentencoding I'd be interested to know whether this still applies if you serve the Cloud Storage object using send_blob in App Engine. I'd imagine it would (and should) - it certainly works for Content-Type, because we're already using this in one of our apps. This is, of course, only useful if all your clients understand gzip content encoding; if not, you'd probably have to store two version of your objects (compressed and uncompressed) and detect which type of client you're talking to in your AE code. If you do try this, please let the rest of us know! Thanks Stephen On Friday, 22 June 2012 12:06:47 UTC+1, Emanuele Ziglioli wrote: > > thanks for the suggestion.
