I apologize. My answers were not always informative not correct. I understood the issue was about minification of css and js which is included.
As far as the minification of html is concerned. I do not think it belongs to response.render because there is nothing html specific in there. If you want to propose the inclusion in contrib of a function that performs minimification of html, I would not oppose to it. It could be called with: from gluon.contrib.htmlminify import minify retrun minify(response.render(...)) Yet I am not sure this will provide any improvement over gzip http responses. In fact the gzipping would be performed by the web server and would result in smaller data and faster processing. It is different for JS because there the minimization can take advantage variable name rewriting. What do other people think?
