Hi,

are there any plans to support gzip compression for responses? This would reduce response size by 80-90%, and would be great especially for mobile devices with limited band width and data plans.

Today, the server does not seem to response with compressed data:

POST /char/WalletTransactions.xml.aspx HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1
Host: api.eveonline.com
Content-Length: 117

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: private
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.0
X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2012 23:31:03 GMT


Best regards,
