GZIP Encoding with Alpha 4?

[drbawb]

I saw that `undertow` seems to have recently added support for GZip Encoding.

Is it possible to enable GZip encoding for an http-listener or server in Wildfly yet?

Hi,

not yet, can you create issue for that in WildFly - JBoss Issue Tracker so we don't forget about it.

For now is possible to do this programatically via an Undertow io.undertow.servlet.ServletExtension. Just create an extension (and the META-INF/services file to go with it), and in the extension add the GZip encoding handler via the handler wrappers mechanism.

As Tomaz says, it will be possible to do this directly via config at some point.

There are way to configure gzip from now?

Hey,

I just send PR that adds with gzip support to configuration.

Hi,

in WildFly 8.0.0.Final you can use gzip encoding, here is an example:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:undertow:1.0">

            <buffer-caches>

                <buffer-cache name="default" buffer-size="1024" buffers-per-region="1024" max-regions="10"/>

            </buffer-caches>

            <server name="default-server">

                <http-listener name="default" socket-binding="http"/>

                <host name="default-host" alias="localhost">

                    <location name="/" handler="welcome-content" />

                    <filter-ref name="gzipFilter" predicate="path-suffix['.css'] or path-suffix['.js']" />

                    <filter-ref name="server-header"/>

                    <filter-ref name="x-powered-by-header"/>

                </host>

            </server>

            <servlet-container name="default" default-buffer-cache="default" stack-trace-on-error="local-only">

                <jsp-config/>

            </servlet-container>

            <handlers>

                <file name="welcome-content" path="${jboss.home.dir}/welcome-content" directory-listing="true"/>

            </handlers>

            <filters>

                <response-header name="server-header" header-name="Server" header-value="Wildfly 8"/>

                <response-header name="x-powered-by-header" header-name="X-Powered-By" header-value="Undertow 1"/>

                <gzip name="gzipFilter"/>

            </filters>

        </subsystem>

I hope it helps other people looking for an example usage

P.S.: I have described it also on my blog http://rumianom.pl/rumianom/entry/gzip_content_encoding_in_wildfly
