We use 3rd party web service in java, they plan to use HTTP-compression to save the bandwidth. At the moment I have no idea how to turn it on in SAP Java libs for SOAP.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Kirill,

HTTP-compression is something, which occurs at the HTTP protocol level (transparent and below the SAOP protocol) and is controlled by HTTP protocol headers.

To enable HTTP-compression, you will "somehow" have to manipulate the http layer of the SAP SOAP stack.

Good starting point to look for further information is the NWDS help. Use the search topics "header compress".

I know what it is (I've read HTTP 1.1 RFC and know how it works)

But the library does not use any other layers above it so it actually makes HTTP requests internally and receives HTTP responses. Once more looks like we'd better switch to Axis
