How to enable GZIP in my tomcat server?

Here is how to enable GZIP compression on Tomcat: edit file /conf/server.xml

and add to the HTTP Connector configuration something like this:

compression="on" 

compressionMinSize="2048" 

noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata" 

compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml"

 

An example of a HTTP Connector configuration with compression enabled could be:

< Connector port = "8080" maxHttpHeaderSize = "8192"

         maxThreads = "150" minSpareThreads = "25" maxSpareThreads = "75"

         enableLookups = "false" redirectPort = "8443" acceptCount = "100"

         connectionTimeout = "20000" disableUploadTimeout = "true" 

         compression = "on" 

   compressionMinSize = "2048" 

   noCompressionUserAgents = "gozilla, traviata" 

   compressableMimeType = "text/html,text/xml" />
