Use

If you want to send large quantities of data, we recommend that you compress it first to keep the transports as small as possible.

Example

The example below shows how you might use data compression.

 

DATA: html_body TYPE string.

…

IF compress NE space.

 

     CALL METHOD server->response->set_header_field(

          name  = 'Content-Type'                           

          value = 'text/html' ).

*

* is compression supported and does client support gzip

* compression technique

*

    CALL METHOD server->set_compression

      EXPORTING

        options          = if_http_server=>co_compress_in_all_cases

      EXCEPTIONS

        compression_not_possible = 1

        OTHERS                   = 2.

    IF sy-subrc <> 0.

      CONCATENATE

             '<html>'

              '<body>'

              'Compression not possible'(001) '</br>'

              '</body>'

            '</html>'

      INTO html_body.

    ELSE.

      CONCATENATE '<html>'

               '<body>'

               'Compression successful '(001) '</br>'

               '</body>'

             '</html>'

       INTO html_body.

    ENDIF.

*

* if compression could be activated the body will be transferred

* as gzip compressed body

*

    CALL METHOD server->response->set_cdata( data = html_body ).

  ENDIF.
