Dear all,
to speed up our applet based application we are using the "pack200" compression for the corresponding jar-files (e.g., First.jar, see example below). The applet is hosted on Apache 2. Unfortunately we have to support "old" JREs such as JRE 1.4.2 as well. Therefore, as pack200 is not supportet in Java 1.4, the uncompressed "version" of the jar-file should be delivered if requested by a browser with Java plugin ver. 1.4.2. I did not manage it to configure Apache according to these requirements. Using the following configuration always (both, for JRE 1.4 and for JRE 1.6) delivers the "unpacked" jar-file (i.e., unpacked/First.jar): httpd.conf ------------ AddType application/x-java-archive .jar AddHandler type-map var Options +MultiViews MultiviewsMatch Handlers AddEncoding pack200-gzip .jar RemoveEncoding .gz a) First.jar.var ----------------- URI: First.jar URI: packed/First.jar.pack.gz Content-Type: x-java-archive Content-Encoding: pack200-gzip URI: unpacked/First.jar Content-Type: x-java-archive Using configuration b) instead (see below), delivers the packed (compressed) jar-file (i.e., packed/First.jar.pack.gz) for both, JRE 1.4 and JRE 1.6: b) First.jar.var ---------------- URI: First.jar URI: packed/First.jar.pack.gz Content-Type: x-java-archive Content-Encoding: pack200-gzip What I'm doing wrong? I really appreciate your help, Tom
