# GZIPFilter

This filter will compress the content of replies using GZIP. Compression is done on the fly. This assumes that you're really on a slow link, where you have lots of CPU, but not much bandwidth.

A nifty usage for that filter, is to plug it on top of a ProxyDirectory, in which case it will compress the data when it flies out of the proxy.
