7.3.2 Troubleshooting HTTP 1.1 and GZIP

HTTP 1.1 has the ability to deal with compressed data in either a Deflate or GZIP format. This
reduces the size of data being sent across the wire. Because HTML pages are just text, they typically
compress very well.
To use GZIP, you enable your Web servers to send GZIP-compressed data. Be aware that some Web
servers do not respond with compressed (GZIP) data when the Access Gateway sends the Via header
to the Web server. Check your Web server documentation.
When the Web server sends compressed data and the rewriter needs to process the data, the data is
decompressed, rewritten, and then recompressed. When Form Fill needs to process the data, the data
is decompressed and then processed. If the Access Gateway does not need to perform any rewriting
of the data or if Form Fill does not need to process the data, the compressed data is sent unchanged
from the Web server to the browser. This is the default behavior.
To turn off the GZIP feature:
1 Create the following touch file
touch /var/novell/.noGzipSupport
2 Restart the Access Gateway.
In the presence of this touch file, Access Gateway does not forward the ACCEPT-ENCODING
header to the Web server. Without this header, the Web server does not send any data with GZIP or
Deflate encoding to the Access Gateway.
To allow the Access Gateway to receive GZIP or Deflate encoded data, remove the touch file and
restart the Access Gateway.
