[Zope3-dev] Preview - gzipping (improved) as wsgi middleware

[Jim Washington]

Back in March, there was a (tiny) bit of discussion here about using
wsgi middleware for gzipping zope3 responses.

I have now had time to take a look at the concept, and it seems good.

So, for a preview of another gzipping implementation for zope3, please
take a look at http://zif.hill-street.net/gzipper

For use with zope3, it requires zope.paste (Thanks, Sidnei!)

features:
    iterable-friendly - outputs as iterable at the same time it receives
from the application iterable
    memory-friendly? - can use a tempfile buffer to perhaps reduce
memory usage
    configurable excludes - easily exclude any content-types you want
from gzipping

At the same URL, I'm also previewing a similar package to minimize
javascript.

As usual, installation and configuration instructions are in the README
(http://zif.hill-street.net/gzipper/README.txt).

development status:  "works for me"
