jira-importer opened a new issue, #183: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-war-plugin/issues/183
**[David Bullock](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=dtbullock)** opened **[MWAR-354](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-354?redirect=false)** and commented Apache Tomcat 8.0 will automatically send the pre-gzipped version of a resource if it finds a .gz version of the file in the WAR. This is beneficial since: 1) it saves on CPU cycles; 2) it can leverage the operating system to send the file 'directly' from the disk to the network socket with as little handling as possible in CPU/RAM. xref the 'Note' on the 'compression' attribute documented at https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/http.html So, I would like MWAR to do generate these pre-gzipped resources for me, at build time. Obviously, it need only do so for certain static assets: an initial 'by convention' would probably: - include *.html, *.jpg, *.png, *.gif, *.css files under the WAR resource root or subdirs - but exclude those found under /WEB-INF/ - except if they were specifically found under /WEB-INF/resources/ --- No further details from [MWAR-354](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-354?redirect=false) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
