Description Roan Kattouw 2014-01-05 03:04:14 UTC 
Per Gabriel's report via email, when VE POSTs HTML to api.php , it should ensure that gzip compression is used for the POST body.

TODO: Figure out how to actually tell the browser to do this
Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2014-01-06 05:57:52 UTC 
This doesn't seem to be supported natively in browsers. Even the XHR2 standard doesn't include support for this. Presumably this is because POST bodies large enough that compression is desired are rare, and because clients don't know in advance whether the server will support compression.

We may be able to do this using a client-side gzip implementation; I'll have to see whether that makes sense. Alternatively, it might be that the savings from fixing bug 59660 and dropping data-parsoid will suffice.
