Hello, That is supported by http clients/servers by sending a header. curl --verbose https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php >/dev/null > Accept: */* 23kbytes payload curl --compressed --verbose https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php >/dev/null > Accept: */* > Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip 6kbytes payload So just pass: 'Accept-Encoding: gzip', and you should be served gziped content by Mediawiki. -- Antoine "hashar" Musso _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
