hi, there was an error in my description of how to enable HTTP compression: the "--add-to-start=gzip” command should NOT be executed from the Solr root directory, but from the server/ (Jetty) directory. The command produces a start.ini file that otherwise ends up in the wrong place. I guess this also settles whether the setting persists or not :)
Corrected description below. (using Solr 6.6.5) 1) add a gzip configuration file called jetty-gzip.xml in /server/etc/ Default values provided in the standalone Jetty installation are OK, but make sure to only include properties listed under “gzip configuration” of the appropriate version (e.g.: https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/9.3.25.v20180904/gzip-filter.html). The jetty-gzip.xml taken from my Jetty v.9.4.6 installation contained some fields that prevented Solr’s embedded Jetty v.9.3.14 from starting 2) add a file called gzip.mod to /server/modules Our sysadmin had provided me with this one; the only lines that are not commented out in there are: - - - - - - - [depend] server [xml] etc/jetty-gzip.xml - - - - - - - 3) from the server/ directory: > java -jar start.jar --list-modules - shows the installed modules, and if they are enabled or not > java -jar start.jar --add-to-start=gzip writes a start.ini file that activates the gzip module on startup Start Solr in the usual way > bin/solr start Thanks, Lúthien -- Disclaimer: This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
