All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.servlet.Filter

Direct Known Subclasses:

IncludableGzipFilter

public class GzipFilter
extends UserAgentFilter

GZIP Filter This filter will gzip or deflate the content of a response if:

• The filter is mapped to a matching path
• accept-encoding header is set to either gzip, deflate or a combination of those
• 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

If both gzip and deflate are specified in the accept-encoding header, then gzip will be used.

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 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.

Init Parameters:

 bufferSize                 The output buffer size. Defaults to 8192. Be careful as values <= 0 will lead to an 
                            IllegalArgumentException. 
                            See: GZIPOutputStream.GZIPOutputStream(java.io.OutputStream, int)
                            and: DeflaterOutputStream.DeflaterOutputStream(java.io.OutputStream, Deflater, int)
                      
 minGzipSize                Content will only be compressed if content length is either unknown or greater
                            than minGzipSize.
                      
 deflateCompressionLevel    The compression level used for deflate compression. (0-9).
                            See: Deflater.Deflater(int, boolean)
                            
 deflateNoWrap              The noWrap setting for deflate compression. Defaults to true. (true/false)
                            See: Deflater.Deflater(int, boolean)

 mimeTypes                  Comma separated list of mime types to compress. See description above.
 
 excludedAgents             Comma separated list of user agents to exclude from compression. Does a 
                            String.contains(CharSequence) to check if the excluded agent occurs
                            in the user-agent header. If it does -> no compression
                            
 excludeAgentPatterns       Same as excludedAgents, but accepts regex patterns for more complex matching.
 
 excludePaths               Comma separated list of paths to exclude from compression. 
                            Does a String.startsWith(String) comparison to check if the path matches.
                            If it does match -> no compression. To match subpaths use excludePathPatterns
                            instead.
 
 excludePathPatterns        Same as excludePath, but accepts regex patterns for more complex matching.
 
 vary                       Set to the value of the Vary header sent with responses that could be compressed.  By default it is 
                            set to 'Vary: Accept-Encoding, User-Agent' since IE6 is excluded by default from the excludedAgents. 
                            If user-agents are not to be excluded, then this can be set to 'Vary: Accept-Encoding'.  Note also 
                            that shared caches may cache copies of a resource that is varied by User-Agent - one per variation of 
                            the User-Agent, unless the cache does some normalization of the UA string.
