Compression HTTP

Question

Is it possible to POST request data from browser to server in compressed format? If yes, How can we do that?

Answer 1

Compressing data sent from the browser to the server is not natively supported in the browsers.

You'll have to find a workaround, using a clientside language (maybe a JavaScript GZip implementation, or a Java Applet, or ...). Be sure to visually display to the user what the browser is doing and why it is taking some time.

I don't know the scope of your application, but on company websites you could just restrict input to compressed files. Ask your users to upload .zip/.7z/.rar/... files.
