I’m using nginx reverse proxy cache with gzip enabled. However, I got some problems from android applications http requests to my rails json web service. It seems when I turn off reverse proxy cache, it works ok because the response header comes without gzip. Therefore, I think the problem caused from gzip. What is the most appropriate level of gzip compression? gzip on; gzip_http_version 1.0; gzip_vary on; gzip_comp_level 6; gzip_proxied any; gzip_types text/plain text/css text/javascript [...]

Yes, I know that there are a lot of other questions that seem exactly like this out there. I think I must’ve looked all of them. Twice. In desparation, I’m adding another in case my specific configuration is the issue. Bear with me. First, the question: What do I need to do to get gzip compression to work?

In my nginx conf I have which enabled gzip: gzip on; gzip_proxied any; gzip_types text/plain text/css text/javascript; gzip_comp_level 9; gzip_vary on; However this also gzips my jpeg’s which actually increases size. How can I, ideally with out using location, disable gzipping of images? Asked by Colin If you didn’t set gzip_types image/jpeg anywhere then nginx will never compress your jpegs, unless they have different content-type (like text/plain) in headers. This may be due to one [...]

I use gzip module of nginx to compress documents. When gzip is enabled nginx will automatically send content-ending of gzip with HTTP headers, right? Without adding any PHP header header() or HTML meta http-equiv, this works perfectly. However, I have seen on online tutorial for adding header for gzip whether by PHP or HTML meta to assist browser to process gzipped data. Is it really needed? Since I was not sure if this is needed [...]

I am trying to get IIS to compress jquery.js (and all other static files, but using jquery as the example here) on my localhost, but something goes wrong.

But in the browser, according to the Net tab on Firebug, the size is 69 kb. I’ve tried the following: – [...]

I accidently gzip -rv directory and now all individual files is in .gz format. How do I undo this and gunzip all .gz files within the directory? And how do I just gzip this whole directory? I tried gunzip directory/*.gz but only gunzip the files in directory/ it doesn’t gunzip directory beyond “directory”. Asked by Maca To unzip your files, do the following: find /yourdirectory -name *gz | xargs gunzip This will unzip all files [...]

I have large static content that I have to deliver via a Linux-based webserver. It is a set of over one million small, gzip files. 90% of the files are less than 1K and the remaining files are at most 50K. In the future, this could grow to over 10 million gzip files. Should I put this content in a file structure or should I consider putting all this content in a database? If it [...]
