How do I gzip my web files

Question

As prescribed by Yahoo!, gzip\'ng files would make your websites load faster. The problem? I don\'t know how :p

Answer 1

Jetty will look for gzip'd versions of static files, as well as it has a GzipFilter for dynamic content.

You could probably pull the GzipFilter over into Tomcat if you wanted more control over compression than just Tomcat's connector-level compression...
