Currently the option for compression="on" in the coyote connector is broken (see bug 18073). The solution presented in the patches attached to that bug seemed overly complicated. Here is an alternate patch that also fixes the problem.
This patch changes 3 things: 1) Decreases the minimum compression size to 1k - this seemed to help with my particular application. There was a lot in the range of 1-2k.
Are you sure you want to compress content less than 2k ?
BTW, you could use compression property for your purpose.
2) Checks only that the content type starts with an entry in the compressableMimeTypes list instead of checking equality. This is the real bug fix since the contentType also includes the character encoding information.
That's the way it's done on Apache HTTPD mod_deflate.
3) Added application/x-javascript as a default compressable type. Now it allows all mime types starting with "text/", not just the three previously specified.
Nope there is problems with many browser which didn't support gzipped javascript.
I submitted part of this code after reviewing what HTTPD team does on mod_deflate, and I feel you could trust them isn't it ?
