HTTP 压缩可以大大提高浏览网站的速度，它的原理是，在客户端请求网页后，从服务器端将网页文件压缩，再下载到客户端，由客户端的浏览器负责解 压缩并浏览。相对于普通的浏览过程HTML ,CSS,Javascript , Text ，它可以节省40%左右的流量。更为重要的是，它可以对动态生成的，包括CGI、PHP , JSP , ASP , Servlet,SHTML等输出的网页也能进行压缩，压缩效率惊人
一对于Tomcat5.0以后的版本是支持对输出内容进行压缩的. 使用的是gzip压缩格式
下 面是tomcat5.5.20 中的$tomcat_home$/conf/server.xml的原内容
1
< Connector
port ="80"
maxHttpHeaderSize ="8192"
2 maxThreads ="150" minSpareThreads ="25" maxSpareThreads ="75"
3 enableLookups ="false" redirectPort ="8443" acceptCount ="100"
4 connectionTimeout ="20000" disableUploadTimeout ="true" URIEncoding ="utf-8" />
5 <!-- Note : To disable connection timeouts, set connectionTimeout value
6 to 0 -->

从上面的第 8行内容可以看出，要使用gzip压缩功能，你可以在Connector实例中加上如下 属性即可2 maxThreads ="150" minSpareThreads ="25" maxSpareThreads ="75"
3 enableLookups ="false" redirectPort ="8443" acceptCount ="100"
4 connectionTimeout ="20000" disableUploadTimeout ="true" URIEncoding ="utf-8" />
5 <!-- Note : To disable connection timeouts, set connectionTimeout value
6 to 0 -->

8 <!-- Note : To use gzip compression you could set the following properties :

11 compressionMinSize="2048"

1) compression="on" 打开压缩功能
2) compressionMinSize="2048" 启用压缩的输出内容大小，这里面默认为2KB
3) noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata" 对于以下的浏览器，不启用压缩
4) compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml" 压缩类型
我 这里的配置内容为：
1 <Connector port="80" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
2 maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
3 enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
4 connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" URIEncoding="utf-8"
5 compression="on"
6 compressionMinSize="2048"
7 noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata"
8 compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/javascript,text/css,text/plain" />
