This GemPlugin will gzip your HTTP responses from mongrel if the client says that it supports it (eg, most modern browsers). I've tested it in IE6, Firefox 1.5 and Firefox 2.0RC3
Install: gem install gzip_filter --source http://edenli.com Configure (assuming rails): cd RAILS_ROOT echo 'uri "/", :handler => plugin("/handlers/gzipfilter")' >> config/mongrel.conf Run: mongrel_rails start -S config/mongrel.conf If you want to use this with a cluster, add "config_script: config/mongrel.conf" to your config/mongrel_cluster.yml file. Somewhat related: I also patched the deflatefilter against mongrel 0.13.5 to work with IE and (probably) Safari. It's available here if you want to use the deflate encoding instead (savings difference is miniscule): http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=6275&group_id=1306&atid=5147 _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
