Deflate Content Encoding¶

Compress payloads using zlib-wrapped DEFLATE (RFC 1950 framing around RFC 1951 data) — the format HTTP Content-Encoding: deflate expects.

Configuration¶

kete.routes.<name>.destination.content-encoding=deflate

Details¶

Property	Value
Config	`deflate`
Algorithm	zlib (RFC 1950) wrapping DEFLATE (RFC 1951)
Java class	`java.util.zip.DeflaterOutputStream`

Notes¶

Slightly smaller output than gzip: a 2-byte zlib header and 4-byte Adler-32 trailer instead of gzip's 10-byte header and 8-byte trailer
HTTP and SOAP destinations also send a Content-Encoding: deflate request header
Less universally supported than gzip in HTTP tooling
Consumers decompress with any standard inflate/deflate library

Example¶

kete.routes.compressed.destination.kind=http
kete.routes.compressed.destination.url=https://example.com/events
kete.routes.compressed.destination.content-encoding=deflate
