I know this is an old thread, but nowadays this isn't actually entirely true.
Yes, Nginx will manage gzip compression like a boss, but if you use cloud hosting solutions, you may not be able to use it. Heroku for instance explicitely requires the web application to handle the compression of responses itself. I haven't found a library that does on-the-fly gzipping of strings or streams yet, but if you just want compression then it can be done with zlib (using the deflate algorithm) On Friday, May 4, 2012 at 3:11:39 PM UTC+2, Massimo Di Pierro wrote: > > That belongs to the web server.
