HttpGzipStaticModule

WARNING: this article is obsoleted. Please refer to http://nginx.org/en/docs/ for the latest official documentation.

= Synopsis = Before serving a file from disk to a gzip-enabled client, this module will look for a precompressed file in the same location that ends in ".gz". The purpose is to avoid compressing the same file each time it is requested.

ngx_http_gzip_static_module was introduced in nginx 0.6.24. You must enable support at compile time:

./configure --with-http_gzip_static_module

Example gzip_static on;

gzip_http_version  1.1; gzip_proxied       expired no-cache no-store private auth; gzip_disable       "MSIE [1-6]\."; gzip_vary          on;

= Directives =

gzip_static


Enables the module. You should ensure that the timestamps of the compressed and uncompressed files match.
