Hi Stefan,

Do you work with an embedded Jetty instance (i.e., did you run basexhttp), or do you use BaseX as servlet? In the latter case, this may need to be tackled by the Jetty developers. Did you address this on their mailing list?

Another alternative could be to include GZIP support in RESTXQ, and send gzipped responses whenever the client send a corresponding Accept-Encoding header. I’ll have some more thoughts on that.

Best, Christian

Hi, I'm struggling to get gzip compression working. I'm using the REST module. http://docs.basex.org/wiki/REST Version: BaseX 9.2.2 Tried to add the handler in jetty.xml as descriped here: https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/gzip-filter.html But it didn't work. Tried gzip filter via web.xml - but it is deprecated since jetty 9.3. Gzip handler is the correct way to do it. Searched the mailling list, similar problem was reported here: https://mailman.uni-konstanz.de/pipermail/basex-talk/2019-February/014160.ht... Unfortunately no solution :( Not much experience with embedded jetty - but adding gzip compression is straight forward in tomcat or apache - no clue why it doesn't work.Shouldn't be that hard - and it's kinda a default feature. Did anybody get it to work? Any tipps? Thanks Stefan Koch
