Documentation

Definition

When this option is activated, the system attempts to compress the response document using the gzip compression procedure.

Currently, compression can only occur if it is determined that the calling system is capable of performing gzip compression. The HTTP caller informs the server of this property by using the header field "accept-encoding" with "gzip" as a value.

Gzip compression is currently only supported if the version of the HTTP protocol of the calling system is at least 1.1 (HTTP/1.1).
