I have ns_param gzip on , but do i still need to set some headers ?
I don't know.
How do i know its gzipping anything ?
telnet www.yourwebserver.com 80
And send a GET request.
That won't invoke compression unless you include the appropriate
Accept-encoding header. You need to sent a complete request like
If you’d like to see whether a page is compressed, use Firefox and
install the “Live Headers” add-on from http://
livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/.
With this add-on, when you choose “info” on a page, a new tab titled
“headers” is now available. Click on that tab, and look for “Content-
Encoding: gzip” on the bottom window (i.e. the “Response Headers”).
If there’s no “Content-Encoding” then gzip is not being used on that
page. You’ll also see the transferred size of the file (2022 bytes in
this case) and if you save the file to disk, you can see what the
real size is (12k in this case) and thus what the speedup was.
