Using GZip compression for js files in Ecommerce module

[Mandeep Sidhu]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to reduce the size of external
javascript's being fetched by making use of GZip encoding.

The feeding server does understand and responds to GZip encoding, however
Ofbiz is not requesting the content in GZip format.

Can anybody please guide me as to what all modifications I need to make so
that Ofbiz will include the GZip encoding option in the http header while
requesting the external javascript file ?

Regards,
Mandeeep Sidhu

[Jacques Le Roux]

I'd suggest to do it also for css http://code.google.com/p/yui-compressor-ant-task/
You could create a Jira and contribute https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Contributors+Best+Practices, this
would be appreciated of course, not only for eCommerce BTW...

created Jira 4792
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4792
but still this will only compress the files Jacques, what if the
application is consuming external jss/css files, if the remote server has
the capability to server GZip encoded content to the requesting client,
we'd need to send the GZip encoding option in the http header for which I
believe Ofbiz needs to be touched.

Correct me if I am wrong.

You are missing a point Mandeep.

OFBiz is already compressing text files. This is done through the embedded Tomcat. See in ofbiz-containers.xml
{code}
<property name="compressableMimeType" value="text/html,text/xml,text/plain"/>
<property name="compression" value="on"/>
{code}

Reference: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html

So my proposition was only to add an yui-compressor-ant-task to compress js/css files as described here
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/

Note that for bigest files we already use compressed versions (ending by min.js, see framework/common/widget/CommonScreens.xml and
specialpurpose/ecommerce/widget/CommonScreens.xml)

Hi all,

I don't know having this in OFBiz affects performance when OFBiz is behind
a webserver (like Apache HTTP) via normal proxy processes or via ajp, which
are standard scenarios in in a multi-tier, high availability/failover setup.

Perfect Jacques, that makes sense.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Jacques,

I analyzed the URL being accessed by my application, I am trying to consume
a version of jquery from google's CDN.
URL: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js

the size I am getting back is around 72KB, which is not gzipped, although
Ofbiz is sending gzip as part of content-encoding. Here's what OFbiz is
requesting

VaryAccept-EncodingContent-EncodinggzipContent-Typetext/javascript;
charset=UTF-8Last-ModifiedMon, 02 Apr 2012 18:24:28 GMTDateWed, 04 Apr 2012
16:56:11 GMTExpiresThu, 04 Apr 2013 16:56:11 GMTX-Content-Type-Options
nosniffServerGFE/2.0Content-Length24605X-XSS-Protection1; mode=block
Cache-Controlpublic, max-age=31536000Age328756
One thing to note here is that it is not sending the user-agent header, and
surprisingly google's CDN doesn't understand this and expects an
established user-agent header,
I used some tool to hit the same url and sent user-agent explicitly,
surprisingly the received file size was 25Kb.

do you've any idea as to why OFBIZ(tomcat server ) is omitting the
user-agent header.

Regards,
Mandeep
