I've a HTTP communication to a webserver requesting JSON data. I'd like compress this data stream with Content-Encoding: gzip. Is there a way I can set Accept-Encoding: gzip in my HttpClient? The search for gzip in the Android References doesn't show up anything related to HTTP, as you can see here.

The Accept-Encoding header is used for negotiating content encoding. Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate. The server responds with the scheme used, indicated by the Content-Encoding response header. Content-Encoding: gzip. Note that the server is not obligated to use any compression method.
Gzip on Windows Servers (IIS Manager)Open up IIS Manager. Click on the site you want to enable compression for. Click on Compression (under IIS) Now Enable static compression and you are done!
The Accept-Encoding request HTTP header indicates the content encoding (usually a compression algorithm) that the client can understand. The server uses content negotiation to select one of the proposals and informs the client of that choice with the Content-Encoding response header.
In the HTTP Streamers Cupertino Settings section, click Edit. For the cupertinoUseGzipEncoding property, click the checkbox to enable the property and then click False to disable Gzip content encoding. Click Save, and then restart the application when prompted to apply the changes.
You should use http headers to indicate a connection can accept gzip encoded data, e.g:
HttpUriRequest request = new HttpGet(url); request.addHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip"); // ... httpClient.execute(request); Check response for content encoding:
InputStream instream = response.getEntity().getContent(); Header contentEncoding = response.getFirstHeader("Content-Encoding"); if (contentEncoding != null && contentEncoding.getValue().equalsIgnoreCase("gzip")) { instream = new GZIPInputStream(instream); } If you love us?
