http compression with haproxy possible
Dear haproxy team, I know you're busy with ssl support in haproxy. That's a real good feature! From my understanding the conecpt of ssl de/encryption in haproxy may allow other interceptors, such as compression. In case I'm right where's the best point to start?Any http header analysis could be done with acls, so a single additional option would be required. I'm looking forward for you opinion Paul

Hi Paul, At Exceliance, we already spent some time on (HTTP) compression in HAProxy, and as far as I know, it's almost ready, but I prefer letting the dev give you more details on this. cheers On Thu, Sep 20, 2012 at 10:40 PM, Paul Svensson wrote: > Dear haproxy team, > > I know you're busy with ssl support in haproxy.

Re: http compression with haproxy possible
Hi, Like Baptiste says, compression is on his way, and it's almost ready! But I can't give you a release date for the moment. There is no really "interceptor" concept, indeed, compression and SSL are not at the same level, encryption is HTTP over SSL where compression is gzip over HTTP. As an HAProxy contributor, I can see the HAProxy core evolving and becoming better and better. It becomes easier to implement that kind of feature.

Thank you for this great outlook and to all contributors who made haproxy that reliable as it is.
