We are creating an Adobe Air application. We are actually using SOAP for service calls and based upon gzip and HTTP compression completely to tune the network performance even vaguely acceptable. SOAP seems a fat technique which really requires gzip compression to get the responses down to a reasonable size to transfer the data upon the Internet.
Adobe Air does not have any compatibility with HTTP gzip compression now and I need to make a request that such type of feature should be associated with the ASAP. We are unable to release our application until this can get reasonable network performance via HTTP gzip compression.
