Server Redirect + gzip?

[Mellnik]

Hello all. Today I came over the question if the KF download client supports gzip compressed files from the webserver.

Apache example:

SetOutputFilter DEFLATE

Already tried it but after 2 seconds Unreal falls back it's internal slow webserver.

It only supports UZ2 compressed files.

You have to activate compression in the INI file of the server, and properly set the redirect server information in the INI file.

[IpDrv.HTTPDownload]
RedirectToURL=http://www.bla.com/UZ2/
ProxyServerHost=
ProxyServerPort=3128
UseCompression=true

Then all your files on the redirection server MUST ALL BE in UZ2 file format.


To compress your files there's some windows tools available on internet (google is your friend but I am too...http://www.moddb.com/games/killing-floor/downloads/kftools-uz2 or http://maps4games.ru/downloads/kf-compress-tool.html).

Why do you think I don't know this? I was just asking if you can compress it further from the webserver using inbuilt gzip. But apparently you can't.

No you can't.
