NIOHTTPCompression

Overview

Channel handlers to support automatic compression and decompression of HTTP data. Add the handlers to your pipeline to support the features you need.

Content-Encoding, Content-Length, and accept-encoding HTTP headers are set and respected where appropriate.

Be aware that this works best if there is sufficient data written between flushes. This also performs compute on the event loop thread which could impact performance.

Client Channel Handlers

• class NIOHTTPRequestCompressor

  NIOHTTPRequestCompressor is an outbound channel handler that handles automatic streaming compression of HTTP requests.

• class NIOHTTPResponseDecompressor

  Duplex channel handler which will accept deflate and gzip encoded responses and decompress them.

Server Channel Handlers

• class NIOHTTPRequestDecompressor

  Channel hander to decompress incoming HTTP data.

• class HTTPResponseCompressor

  A HTTPResponseCompressor is a duplex channel handler that handles automatic streaming compression of HTTP responses. It respects the client’s Accept-Encoding preferences, including q-values if present, and ensures that clients are served the compression algorithm that works best for them.

Compression Methods

• enum NIOCompression

  Namespace for compression code.

• enum NIOHTTPDecompression

  Namespace for decompression code.
