Description

Some of our UI pages (e.g. # of jobs, # of task attempts, logs) are extremely big. It would drastically improve their load times if we used HTTP compression.
There exists a GzipFilter for jetty that can be added so that if the browser includes "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate" in the request header, the server will respond with the resource compressed and a response header "Content-Encoding: gzip" (or deflate). http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/gzip-filter.html
