Package org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.gzip

Class GzipHandler

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Handler, GzipFactory, HandlerContainer, Container, Destroyable, Dumpable, LifeCycle
    public class GzipHandler
extends HandlerWrapper
implements GzipFactory
    A Handler that can dynamically GZIP uncompress requests, and compress responses.

    The GzipHandler can be applied to the entire server (a gzip.mod is included in the jetty-home) or it may be applied to individual contexts.

    Both Request uncompress and Response compress are gated by a configurable DispatcherType check on the GzipHandler. (This is similar in behavior to a Filter configuration you would find in a Servlet Descriptor file (WEB-INF/web.xml)
    (Default: DispatcherType.REQUEST).

    Requests with a Content-Encoding header with the value gzip will be uncompressed by a GzipHttpInputInterceptor for any API that uses ServletRequest.getInputStream() or ServletRequest.getReader().

    Response compression has a number of checks before GzipHandler will perform compression.

    1. Does the request contain a Accept-Encoding header that specifies gzip value?
    2. Is the HttpServletRequest.getMethod() allowed by the configured HTTP Method Filter.
      (Default: GET)
    3. Is the incoming Path allowed by the configured Path Specs filters?
      (Default: all paths are allowed)
    4. Is the Request User-Agent allowed by the configured User-Agent filters?
      (Default: MSIE 6 is excluded)
    5. Is the Response Content-Length header present, and does its value meet the minimum gzip size requirements (default 32 bytes)?
    6. Is the Request Accept header present and does it contain the required gzip value?

    When you encounter a configurable filter in the GzipHandler (method, paths, user-agent, mime-types, etc) that has both Included and Excluded values, note that the Included values always win over the Excluded values.

    Important note about Default Values: It is important to note that the GzipHandler will automatically configure itself from the MimeType present on the Server, System, and Contexts and the ultimate set of default values for the various filters (paths, methods, mime-types, etc) can be influenced by the available mime types to work with.

    ETag (or Entity Tag) information: any Request headers for If-None-Match or If-Match will be evaluated by the GzipHandler to determine if it was involved in compression of the response earlier. This is usually present as a --gzip suffix on the ETag that the Client User-Agent is tracking and handed to the Jetty server. The special --gzip suffix on the ETag is how GzipHandler knows that the content passed through itself, and this suffix will be stripped from the Request header values before the request is sent onwards to the specific webapp / servlet endpoint for handling. If a ETag is present in the Response headers, and GzipHandler is compressing the contents, it will add the --gzip suffix before the Response headers are committed and sent to the User Agent.

    This implementation relies on an Jetty internal HttpOutput.Interceptor mechanism to allow for effective and efficient compression of the response on all Output API usages:

    Historically the compression of responses were accomplished via Servlet Filters (eg: GzipFilter) and usage of HttpServletResponseWrapper. Since the introduction of Async I/O in Servlet 3.1, this older form of Gzip support in web applications has been problematic and bug ridden.

      • addExcludedMimeTypes

        public void addExcludedMimeTypes​(java.lang.String... types)
        Adds excluded MIME types for response filtering.

        Deprecation Warning: For backward compatibility the MIME types parameters may be comma separated strings, but this will not be supported in future versions of Jetty.

        Parameters:
        types - The mime types to exclude (without charset or other parameters).
        See Also:
        addIncludedMimeTypes(String...)

      • addExcludedPaths

        public void addExcludedPaths​(java.lang.String... pathspecs)
        Adds excluded Path Specs for request filtering.

        There are 2 syntaxes supported, Servlet url-pattern based, and Regex based. This means that the initial characters on the path spec line are very strict, and determine the behavior of the path matching.

        • If the spec starts with '^' the spec is assumed to be a regex based path spec and will match with normal Java regex rules.
        • If the spec starts with '/' then spec is assumed to be a Servlet url-pattern rules path spec for either an exact match or prefix based match.
        • If the spec starts with '*.' then spec is assumed to be a Servlet url-pattern rules path spec for a suffix based match.
        • All other syntaxes are unsupported

        Note: inclusion takes precedence over exclude.

        Parameters:
        pathspecs - Path specs (as per servlet spec) to exclude. If a ServletContext is available, the paths are relative to the context path, otherwise they are absolute.
        For backward compatibility the pathspecs may be comma separated strings, but this will not be supported in future versions.

        addIncludedPaths(String...)
