Add support for caching of compressed resources [SPR-7401]

[spring-projects-issues]

Jeremy Grelle opened SPR-7401 and commented

The ResourceHttpRequestHandler adds runtime gzip compression of text/* mime-types by default. For more efficient serving of these resources, the following additional approaches should be considered:

Implementation options #1:

• Allow the user to specify a naming pattern for pre-compressed versions of their resources, such as '*.gz', and serve those in preference to runtime compression.

Implementation option #2:

• Compress the first time a resource is requested. After that, add the compressed version to a user-specified disk-level cache location. Future requests for the resource are served from the cache.
