GE should HTTP Accept-Encoding of GZIP for compressed data transfer. #8

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
To speed large data sets, GE does not accept HTTP GZIP streamed data from 
NetworkLinks. Almost all browsers (interactive and non) accept GZIP data 
streams, GE should definetely join them.

Addendum: except GE supports KMZ which already is a compressed datastream :) -

Addendum: But pkzip-style compression format is not formally streamable nor 
concatenatable and why browsers don't support this format.
