Hi Christian,

Checked the GZIP Handler options.

https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/gzip-filter.html

It should support:

includedMethods
(GET, POST, PUT) - PATCH is not used by BaseX REST API - not needed.

However these are response settings.

Jetty does support request compression - if BaseX works for XML-Webservices, you wanna POST/PUT large XML docs that are compressed, I guess.

As far as I could figure out: "inflateBufferSize" should be set to 1 (0 is default) (it's in the official jetty-gzip.xml not in the link from above). No default option in jetty, shouldn't be default in BaseX REST client, I guess.
This should enable request compression.

HTTP is dead, long live HTTPS!

For productive use this is needed (otherwise you have to run NGINX as proxy or do similar workarounds).
Currently only HTTP is supported.

Downloaded jetty - in /etc there are the config xmls - relevant config options are:

jetty-https,jetty-ssl, jetty-ssl-context (you wanna have a keystore/certificate for SSL).

productive use: 

jetty-threadpool, jetty-threadlimit and jetty-connectionlimit might come in handy for the admins - but have no clue about that.
Not really a priority, though.

There is a bunch of other stuff, but IMO not really important.

Best wishes and nice holydays,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

We could consider an extension of the current solution.

Have you checked the remaining default options? What other custom
settings may you need to rely on?

Cheers,
Christian
