Compression blob ORDS + TOMCAT

Jeremx

Hello,

How does the compression of a blob data via ORDS work?

I tried to enable compression in tomcat:

server.xml

<Connector port=“8443” protocol=“HTTP/1.1" relaxedPathChars=“[]|{}”  relaxedQueryChars=‘[]|{}^&#x5c;&#x60;&quot;&lt;&gt;’

               maxThreads=“150" SSLEnabled=“true” scheme=“https” secure=“true”  compression=“on” compressionMinSize=“1024”

               clientAuth=“false” sslProtocol=“TLS” keystoreFile=“/u01/certificat/keystore_tomcat.keystore” keystorePass=“XXX”  />

and try the header:

"Accept-Encoding: gzip"

but compression doesn't work

Do you have any idea?

Thank you

What is the mime type of the blob?  If compression is on, only these mime types will be compressed by default:

text/html,text/xml,text/plain,text/css,text/javascript,application/javascript,application/json,application/xml

If what mime type you are sending is not in this list, you will need to add the compressibleMimeType attribute to your connector.  Documentation can be referenced here: https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/http.html

I'm having the same issue here. I have ORDS 21.4 being served through Tomcat 8.5. I have compression turned "on" and compressableMimeType set to "text/html,text/xml,application/json"

I can see that the response is of mime type "application/json" and all looks good but no compression has been applied whereas if I do the same test with an HTML page I can see the compression happening.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

John
