+--- Thread: Kodi should do HTTP/Webdav request with "accept-encoding: gzip, deflate" (/showthread.php?tid=253090)
Kodi should do HTTP/Webdav request with "accept-encoding: gzip, deflate" - jcea - 2015-12-22
Currently Kodi seems to not request compression in the HTTP/WEBDAV requests. This could be motivated because it is perceived that most traffic is LAN based. Could be considered that current machines can compress/decompress faster than they can pump data in the LAN, maybe even a Raspberry PI.
In my personal situation, I use remote webdav servers. PROPFIND Reply is huge and very verbose, compression ratio would be very high and latency and bandwidth reduced.
Change seems trivial, but I am not a C++ guy :-(

Just implementing this feature for PROPFIND requests would be great. If CURL already support it, this would require only a single line addition to add the "accept-encoding" header. Just there: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/f42c66f130805765b0c30d947980d5f2af847cde/xbmc/filesystem/DAVDirectory.cpp#L118
