Using HTTP compression to speed up content delivery in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 update 2

Using HTTP compression to speed up content delivery in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 update 2


If you are looking for faster web page downloads, you can use HTTP compression feature which compresses your content to speed it up. It is especially beneficial for low bandwidth connections. This also reduces the number of bytes transferred and improves the overall server performance.

How it Works

Browsers that support compressed content send an Accept-encoding header with value gzip, deflate. Our Web Server sees the header and chooses to provide compressed content, and sends Content-encoding: gzip response header. The browser on seeing this header tries to decompress the content and renders it.

Now the question is how to enable HTTP compression feature can be configured in obj.conf. Let me explain that in detail in this blog.

Dynamic compression of static files in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0

Dynamic compression of static files in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0


    Check out the new cool features in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 which can be downloaded for free from http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Web%20%26%20Proxy%20Servers&tab=3&subcat=Web%20Servers .
In this blog I will talk about dynamic compression of static files.

    We have also implemented caching of compressed data for static files. We have added a new service function "compress-file" which will compress static files (if the compressed file doesn't exist) and serves it from the cache if the compressed version already exists.
Lets say if I want to create .gz files on the fly for static files, all I have to do is to modify obj.conf as shown below.
