Enabling or Disabling HTML Response Compression

To enable or disable HTML response compression:

  1. Stop the front-end server.
  2. Open the Server.xml file with a text editor. This file is located in the /conf/frontendserver folder of the Performance Manager directory on the front-end server.
  3. Locate the Connector XML tag.
  4. Add compression="on" and compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/plain,text/css,text/javascript,application/xml" to the connectors. The servlet will compress any response with gzip. Gzip is taken from Apache Tomcat Native.
  5. Save and close the XML file.
  6. Re-start the front-end server.
