Using Compression with Little proxy

[dines...@gmail.com]

Hi,

My issue is related to compression and what I'm trying to achieve is following. I need to compress the content between client and the littleproxy but not between littleproxy and back end server.

Client <----compressed----> Littleproxy <----uncompressed----> Host

I have tried by adding deflate and inflate handlers in both clientToProxyRequest and proxyToClientResponse but it didn't work. Also implemented get maximum buffer size in bytes methods to return a large value.

When I add the deflate handlers, server doesn't respond to browser even server receive the response from the host.  Following are some log entries.
