using gzip encoding in play framework

For anyone that wants to try out very experimental automatic gzip encoding in Play 2.1, I've implemented a filter in this project:

https://github.com/jroper/play-iteratees-extras

You can use it by adding the following dependency to your project:

"com.typesafe.play.extras" %% "iteratees-extras" % "1.0.1"

And then if your project is a Scala project, add the filter to your Global object like this:

object Global extends WithFilters(new GzipFilter()) {

  ...

}

Or if it's a Java project, add the filter to your Global object like this:

public class Global extends GlobalSettings {

    public <T extends play.api.mvc.EssentialFilter> Class<T>[] filters() {

        return new Class[] { GzipFilter.class };

    }

}
