It's possible, openssl has functions SSL_get_current_compression and SSL_get_current_expansion for this purpose. I'll have to check how they can fit in with the lazy initialization used by serf though. > Just checking if the feature is available in openssl doesn’t tell if the > feature is compiled in at the other side. > > > > > > Using 1m9 (=69 seconds) and 109 seconds in the same table, hides the major > difference between the numbers. Indeed. This is the table with all times in seconds: | bytes read | bytes written | total time 1: | 17.50MB | 233-284KB | 59s 2: | 18.67MB | 2.13-2.43MB | 69s-78s 3: | 50.35MB | 2.34MB | 103s-108s 4: | 15.27MB | 235-260KB | 50s-56s > > > We should clearly avoid accidentally having no compression at all unless > requested, as the double compression works much better than that scenario. > > > Bert > Lieven [..]
