[Grok-dev] Enable gzip/http compression in Grok/Zope site

Paste has a compression module. (I have never tried it.)
http://pythonpaste.org/modules/gzipper.html
You would add something like this to your Grokproject-generated "ini" files:
[pipeline:main]
pipeline = gzip grok
[filter:gzip]
use = egg:Paste#gzip
You could write your own WSGI middleware, if there are certain things you want to compress.
http://pylonsbook.com/en/1.1/the-web-server-gateway-interface-wsgi.html#altering-the-response
If you want everything compressed, it might be simpler to just put the your Grok site behind Apache or Nginx and let them handle the compression.
http://grok.zope.org/documentation/how-to/grok-virtual-hosting-and-nginx
http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpGzipModule
Another option would be to use mod_wsgi to let Apache serve your application directly (and enable mod_deflate):

Hope one of these works for you,
Steve
