Getting GAE to use GZIP encoding in responses

[Joshua Smith]

Is there a trick to convince GAE to GZIP responses? The docs say it’s supposed to be automatic, but it isn’t happening. Details in this SO question…

Hi Joshua,

Thank you for posting here however I can see on your StackOverflow thread that the issue is resolved for you but would like to know the root cause of your issue.

As this seems to be a bit more of a technical question you will probably have better answers from the community by posting on StackOverflow as Google Groups is intended for general discussion.

I didn’t get an answer in either place. But my experience has been that this list tends to produce answers whereas SO is just asking into the void.

We consider jpeg, mpeg and some file formats as not compressible and hence do not compress this content-type
