Activate GZip Compression for QIDO and WADO Metadata responses in Wildfly - dcm4che/dcm4chee-arc-light GitHub Wiki

For cases wherein responses for WADO RS metadata and QIDO may be too large, this can be compressed using Undertow settings in Wildfly. This enables the client to accept responses compressed and deflate it later on their systems.

• Set filter settings in archive's Wildfly using JBoss CLI in a new console window :

    > $WILDFLY_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh -c [UNIX]
    > %WILDFLY_HOME%\bin\jboss-cli.bat -c [Windows]
    [standalone@localhost:9990 /] /subsystem=undertow/configuration=filter/gzip=gzipFilter/:add
    [standalone@localhost:9990 /] /subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/host=default-host/filter-ref=gzipFilter/:add(predicate="method(GET) and path-suffix(studies,series,instances,metadata)")
  

• Invoke QIDO Search for Studies service requesting response to be compressed in gzip format using curl

  $ curl -v -o /tmp/studies.json.gz -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" \
    http://localhost:8080/dcm4chee-arc/aets/DCM4CHEE/rs/studies
