nima

Oni was originally written using Helidon's Webserver (aka Nima) to serve the web application. Currently, Oni uses Vert.X. The notes below are in case we switch back to Nima.

Supporting gzip

From Slack

ne way (and probably the easiest way) would be to simply add the following dependencies. These will be automatically discovered and used. It is not needed to do anything else.

<!-- gzip -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.helidon.http.encoding</groupId>
    <artifactId>helidon-http-encoding-gzip</artifactId>
</dependency>
<!-- deflate -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.helidon.http.encoding</groupId>
    <artifactId>helidon-http-encoding-deflate</artifactId>
</dependency>

Other way, if you would not want it to be automatically discovered and you would want to do it programatically yourselft would be to use something like this:

WebServer.builder()
    .contentEncoding(encodingBuilder -> encodingBuilder.contentEncodingsDiscoverServices(false)
    .addContentEncoding(GzipEncoding.create())
    .addContentEncoding(DeflateEncoding.create()))

But even for that you need the above dependencies.
