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"/>
