Thank you for that explanation. I'm still debugging this with our CDN vendor. They have identified a number of bugs on their end which explain the odd behavior I've been seeing.

Usually there are responses which are not compressible, so trying to gzip them is just a waste of resources. Also there can be cases when the client announces gzip support, but in fact have problems when some types of responses are compressed - for example, there were problems with compressed javascripts in some browsers in the past. If you are sure that in a particular configuration all possible responses must be gzipped, "gzip_types *;" should be fine. You may want to limit it to a particular location or server though. > I’m running into a compression problem and if I set it to * > everything gzips just fine but if I list them out explicitly the > type image/jpeg is not being gzip’d via proxy request but all > others are gzip’d by proxy. Gzip_proxied is set to any. As long as Content-Type of the response is "image/jpeg", there should be not difference between "gzip_types *" and "gzip_types image/jpeg ...". If you see a difference, please provide more details - full configuration and a debug log would be ideal. -- Maxim Dounin https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmdounin.ru%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cmichael.friscia%40yale.edu%7C6c5e1fd929a949e6066108d609224e47%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C636706440293411790&sdata=cjPwik9wTdi0Wpw0InRg9zlE2lvOY3ejsvkvlhBO4f8%3D&reserved=0 _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmailman.nginx.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fnginx&data=02%7C01%7Cmichael.friscia%40yale.edu%7C6c5e1fd929a949e6066108d609224e47%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C636706440293411790&sdata=Vjpk7hlLViXxOIXo2Tav57J%2FcgRyA6fI5ppkDzs6E18%3D&reserved=0 _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
