Re: [jetty-users] gzip filter

[Christoph Läubrich <laeubi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well this is not a bug but configurable see the "methods" init parameter:

methods

Comma separated list of HTTP methods to compress. If not set, only GET requests are compressed.

even though the spec might indicate this as a SHOULD in practice HEAD requests are more rare in normal scenarios and GZIP content makes it less use-able since this is a very special case..
