How to do Gzip encoding over WebSocket using autobahn android library

[abhishek jain]

  
Hi Guys,

We are using autobahn library to implement websocket in our android app. We want to compress our data over websocket. For the same, we want to do Gzip encoding over websocket. Please share your idea how to implement the same.

Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi,

There is no such thing as "Gzip encoding over WebSocket". Content
encoding negotiation is a HTTP feature.

The right way is to add support for the permessage-deflate WebSocket
extension to AutobahnAndroid.

Cheers,
/Tobias

Hi,

Thanks for the pointer. I am using tomcat container for websocket implementation at server end which also supports this type of compression.

Can you please provide any pointer regarding how to add support for the permessage-deflate WebSocket extension to AutobahnAndroid? It would be great if you can provide any kind of help.

Really liked your library and it was very easy to integrate in our app. Thanks for your wonderful library.

Thanks,
Abhishek

Intro:

Spec:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-hybi-permessage-compression-18

You might also look at the code for Java WebSocket client
implementations with support for permessage-deflate. I guess Jetty does.

Hi,

Does this means autobahn android library not support permessage-deflate WebSocket extension? If yes, then we have to write our own to support this type of extension. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi,

Can I use Per Message Deflate Extension defined at: https://blogs.oracle.com/PavelBucek/entry/websocket_extensions_in_tyrus? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Abhishek

If you want to use AutobahnAndroid and want to speak the
permessage-deflate extension, someone needs to implement that extension
within AutobahnAndroid. That means: write code. Contribute to
AutobahnAndroid.

Tyrus is a different WebSocket implementation. I have no clue how it
works, and if it works at all on Android.
