FWIW, I experimented with an alternative to the existing set-cookie/cookie mechanism that used an extension frame type with it's own isolated compressed header block and typed codecs and achieved a roughly 40-70% improvement (depending on cookie content) in compression ratio over the current cookie crumbling approach. Personally, I'd much rather -1 the cookie crumbling as a premature optimization and explore alternative approaches later on once we have a better defined extension model. - James On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 3:38 PM, Martin Thomson <martin.thomson@gmail.com> wrote: > Turns out that splitting the Cookie header into pieces improves > compression efficiency considerably.
