While not strickly part of RFC1945 HTTP/1.0, most browsers provide an
Accept-Encoding header, which indicate they accept a gzip content encoding.
Jetty provides a filter which can GZIP encode all responses sent to
browsers that accept this encoding.
For this demonstration, any URL prefixed with /GZ can be encoded. All of the
following URLs access pages on this demo server via this filter: /GZ/Jetty/Demo/encode.html - This page. |
