Does Apache Commons HttpClient support GZIP?
Apache HttpClient 4.1 supports content compression out of the box along with many other features that were previously considered out of scope.
Can you use gzip over SSL? And Connection: Keep-Alive headers
Yes, compression can be used over SSL; it takes place before the data is encrypted so can help over slow links. It should be noted that this is a bad idea: this also opens a vulnerability. After the initial handshake, SSL is less of an overhead than many people think* – even if the client … Read more
How to pipe one readable stream into two writable streams at once in Node.js?
Pipe chaining/splitting doesn’t work like you’re trying to do here, sending the first to two different subsequent steps: sourceFileStream.pipe(gzip).pipe(response); However, you can pipe the same readable stream into two writeable streams, eg: var fs = require(‘fs’); var source = fs.createReadStream(‘source.txt’); var dest1 = fs.createWriteStream(‘dest1.txt’); var dest2 = fs.createWriteStream(‘dest2.txt’); source.pipe(dest1); source.pipe(dest2);
Enable gzip compression with Nginx

Modern browsers include this header automatically, but for curl you’ll need to include one of the following in your command: … Read more

The one you should use these days is mod_deflate – it is the more modern and recommended one and is distributed with Apache. mod_gzip was an older third-party implementation and there is no good reason to use it anymore. Don’t be fooled … Read more
Is GZIP Automatically Decompressed by Browser?
All modern browsers can handle a gzip encoded response. In fact, if you look at their requests, they’ll have a header that says something along the lines of Accept-Encoding: gzip which is their way of saying to the server that they can handle gzipped responses. The important part is that your server can return both … Read more
Compress multiple files individually with Gzip
gzip */*.txt But the extension for each file will be .txt.gz, as gzip uses it to know the original filename.
How to check if a file is gzip compressed?
There is a magic number at the beginning of the file. Just read the first two bytes and check if they are equal to 0x1f8b.
