SAP Note 904314 - Tie HTTP request and response to disable GZIP in Kernel

Component : Low Level Layers - Internet Communication ManagerBC-CST-WDP Web DispatcherHAN-D

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/904314 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues where GZIP compression is not desired for specific MIME types, often due to the content being already compressed or issues with the receiving application handling compressed formats. The solution entails the introduction of two new ICM profile parameters: 'ict/min_compression_size' to set the minimum byte size for initiating compression, and 'ict/exclude_compression' to specify file patterns excluded from compression. These settings apply only with the newest kernel versions specified in CST patch collection 49/2005 and require corresponding ABAP stack adjustments, detailed in the attachments of this note.

Key words :
ict/min_compression_size = <minimum byte size, 0 ict/exclude_compression = <comma-separated-list, reference cst patch collection 49/2005, cst patch collection 49/2005, specific mime types, receiving application typical, installed newest kernels, start compression>   default, newest kernels, compression>   default
