Description

The GzipFilter does not check the response code before comressing content. if the response is a 304, then it is not permitted to have any content - but gzip will always produce at least 20 bytes even if there was zero bytes written.

Servlet containers should discard those bytes for you, but there is nothing in the servlet spec that says how this should be done. It would be legal for the container to close the output stream so the gzip filter would encounter exceptions when trying to write these bytes.
