I am glad someone else has brought this up... our project has noticed this being the bottle neck for us as well. I would lov to see this in Apache XML-RPC implementation.
Thanks X 2... Shawn

I just drew a Google-blank on this topic (so I'm not too hopeful) but I thought I'd ask anyway: how easily could I "silently slip in" gzip encoding at the HTTP-level underneath XMLRPC-Java?
I've been happily making a verbose XMLRPC protocol, and now am finding myself with a bandwidth bottleneck...rather than trying to make my XMLRPC more terse, gzipping it would be way more effective. XML compresses like a dream!
Reflecting on my request (and the Javadocs), I think this would be a subclass of XmlRpcClient (GzipXmlRpcClient)...but before I embark on doing that, I thought I'd check the list whether a) it's been done, b) it's really easy or hard to do, or c) it shouldn't be done (like my sessions with cookies idea).
Thanks! dylan
