All modern web browsers can receive files encoded with GZIP compression. For static files (those without dynamic variables), this can decrease the amount of data transmitted by as much as 60%.
The MPFS2 Utility will automatically determine which files can benefit from GZIP compression, and will store the compressed file in the MPFS2 image when possible. This generally includes all JavaScript and CSS files. (Images are typically already compressed, so the MPFS2 Utility will generally decide it is better to store them uncompressed.) This HTTP server will then seamlessly return this compressed file to the browser. Less non-volatile storage space will be required for the MPFS2 image, and faster transfers back to the client will result. No special configuration is required for this feature.
To prevent certain extensions from being compressed, use the Advanced Settings dialog in the MPFS2 Utility.
