Patent attributes
A method, system, and apparatus are directed towards compression of content over a network. The content may include content length information, such as within a header. In one embodiment, a portion of the content may be compressed to approximately fill a buffer of a predefined size. If there remains additional uncompressed content, a new content length may be determined based in part on the length of the compressed content and the remaining uncompressed content. The buffered content and the new content length may then be forwarded in response to the request. The remaining uncompressed content may be split into predefined blocks using identity compression. Identity compression may then be applied to the remaining uncompressed content which is then forwarded to a destination in response to the request.
