Is it possible to disable http compression on SplunkWeb?

For splunkd on the indexer you can set a value in the server.conf file as such:

allowSslCompression = false

Is there an ability to do this for splunkweb?

There doesn't seem to be a setting to disable ssl Compression in web.conf

server.conf is for a general splunk server. It should apply to both indexers and searchheads, imo.

You can run btool on the search head to determine what the current setting is: /opt/splunk/bin/splunk cmd btool --debug server list

I see what you're saying, I guess I should have been more specific, our vulnerability scanner is picking up a finding on the Splunk Web Interface accessible via 443 that SSL/TLS compression is enabled - behind the scenes I know CherryPy is running - and from what I can tell you can't tell it to stop using SSL Compression.

Title should be SSL compression but the Captcha keeps failing for some reason
