lacklacklack opened a new pull request, #6106: URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/6106
## Overview Adds gzip compression for outbound HTTP responses when the client sends `Accept-Encoding: gzip`. The replicator now sends `Accept-Encoding: gzip` on outbound requests (`_bulk_docs`, `_revs_diff`, `_bulk_get`) and automatically decompresses gzip responses received from the remote server. ## Testing recommendations Run a replication and check the stats: ```bash # Start CouchDB ./dev/run --admin=admin:admin # Create DBs, add docs, replicate curl -X PUT http://admin:[email protected]:15984/source_db curl -X PUT http://admin:[email protected]:25984/target_db curl -X PUT http://admin:[email protected]:15984/source_db/doc1 \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"data":"'$(python3 -c "print('x'*2000)")'"}' curl -X POST http://admin:[email protected]:15984/_replicate \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"source":"http://admin:[email protected]:15984/source_db","target":"http://admin:[email protected]:25984/target_db"}' # Check stats — value should be > 0 curl -s http://admin:[email protected]:15984/_node/_local/_stats/couch_replicator/responses_decompressed | python3 -m json.tool ``` Automated tests: `couch_replicator_compression_tests` in `src/couch_replicator/test/eunit/`. ## Related Issues or Pull Requests Add request compression to replicator - https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/6013 ## Checklist - [x] This is my own work, I did not use AI, LLM's or similar technology - [x] Code is written and works correctly - [x] Changes are covered by tests - [x] Any new configurable parameters are documented in `rel/overlay/etc/default.ini` - [x] Documentation changes were made in the `src/docs` folder - [ ] Documentation changes were backported (separated PR) to affected branches -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
