We are using the listview view of the build server. With over 80 projects, each request gets about 500 kb big. Since it’s text, I think gzipping the responses will benefit extremely for bandwidth (very useful because our team is spread around the world).
Even better, instead of polling, use something like signalr to notify the clients that a refresh is required.
Hi Geert
We’ll look into it.
Hi Geert,
Continua CI does support gzip encoding but it just needs to be installed and configured in IIS. I have added some pages to the documentation explaining how this is set up. We don’t configure this in the installer as its a machine level configuration, but we may add this as a option in the future.
We do have further plans to reduce the bandwidth on the dashboard pages. We can’t use signalr just yet until we drop support for Windows 2003 and that should really only be done on a major version increment. We can however make some reductions by sending changed fields only and calculating timings client-side.
Hi Dave & Vincent,
Thanks a lot, enabled it, thanks for adding the docs, made it super easy
