Class GzipFilter

java.lang.Object

org.mortbay.servlet.UserAgentFilter

org.mortbay.servlet.GzipFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Filter

public class GzipFilter
extends UserAgentFilter

GZIP Filter This filter will gzip the content of a response iff:

• The filter is mapped to a matching path
• The response status code is >=200 and <300
• The content length is unknown or more than the minGzipSize initParameter or the minGzipSize is 0(default)
• The content-type is in the comma separated list of mimeTypes set in the mimeTypes initParameter or if no mimeTypes are defined the content-type is not "application/gzip"
• No content-encoding is specified by the resource

Compressing the content can greatly improve the network bandwidth usage, but at a cost of memory and CPU cycles. If this filter is mapped for static content, then use of efficient direct NIO may be prevented, thus use of the gzip mechanism of the org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.DefaultServlet is advised instead.

This filter extends UserAgentFilter and if the the initParameter excludedAgents is set to a comma separated list of user agents, then these agents will be excluded from gzip content.
