Subject: [stdlib-sig] gzip compression in http.server
Message-ID: <CAL70=TE0iL3kdy-jgUEpe0LtpeZFXMGQG5eRM1kNHKk40Qju8w@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,
current implementation of http.server does not have gzip compression.
http.server was previously called SimpleHttpServer and that means that it
is supposed to be simple,
but I've implemented gzip compression for http.server in my project and I
can contribute it back to stdlib if it's necessary.

What do you think?

Thanks!

Nick.

Thanks for the offer, Nick, but for me personally I don't think it's
necessary. As you pointed out, http.server is meant to be simple and so
worrying about gzip compression for something that's served over localhost
doesn't seem worth the maintenance burden.
