• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SR062 - HTTP/1.0 does not support active compression ?

  The SAP error message "SR062 HTTP/1.0 does not support active compression" typically occurs when there is an issue with the HTTP protocol version being used in the communication between the SAP system and the client (such as a web browser or another application). This error indicates that the server is trying to use HTTP compression features that are not supported by the HTTP/1.0 protocol.
  Cause:
  
  HTTP Version: The client is using HTTP/1.0, which does not support features like content encoding and compression. HTTP/1.1 is required for these features.
  Server Configuration: The server may be configured to use compression (like gzip) for responses, but the client does not support it due to the use of an older HTTP version.
  Proxy or Middleware: If there is a proxy server or middleware in between the client and the SAP server, it may be downgrading the HTTP version to 1.0.
  
  Solution:
  
  Upgrade Client: Ensure that the client (browser or application) is using HTTP/1.1 or higher. Most modern browsers and applications support HTTP/1.1 by default.
  Server Configuration: Check the SAP server configuration to ensure that it is set to support HTTP/1.1. This may involve checking the settings in the SAP Web Dispatcher or the application server.
  Disable Compression: If upgrading the client is not feasible, consider disabling compression on the server side. This can usually be done in the server configuration settings.
  Check Proxy Settings: If there is a proxy server involved, ensure that it is configured to support HTTP/1.1 and is not downgrading the requests to HTTP/1.0.
  
  Related Information:
  
  HTTP Protocol Versions: Understanding the differences between HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 can help in diagnosing issues related to protocol support.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes and documentation for any specific configurations or patches related to HTTP communication and compression.
  Network Configuration: Review network configurations, including firewalls and proxies, that may affect HTTP traffic.
  
  By addressing the above points, you should be able to resolve the "SR062 HTTP/1.0 does not support active compression" error in your SAP environment.
