Normally it should work. I'm using it myself to compress the stats page on demo.haproxy.org. You should check the server's response headers, there might be something causing it to be disabled. It's also possible that the client's user-agent matches a blacklisted pattern. You may want to take a look at select_compression_request_header() in proto_http.c. Regards, Willy
