But is this not still an MW bug? The setting $wgUseGzip = true; reduces cache size by gzipping the cached html. It also reduces the CPU load for gzipping cached pages on the fly. On the other hand, the Apache compression is independently useful if the server serves other content. So the two settings are not alternative ways of doing the same thing, they merely overlap in some areas. It seems that one wants to have both features enabled. Could MW not somehow send the cached data in such a way that it is not re-zipped by Apache? Or is the solution to somehow configure Apache to not re-compress files when they come from the cache (how?)? It seems there are the following options for this report: (a) Close as "invalid" and declare that the asked-for function is not intended to be provided by MediaWiki at all (i.e. that MW is not generally usable with Apache compression) or that the error is on the side of Apache or its configuration. (b) Close as "wontfix" and declare that this is an accepted problem/undesirable limitation of MediaWiki, but that its solution is too complicated to justify the investment of resources needed to fix it. (c) Keep it open and eventually do something to allow the use of compressed caches on a server with default compression. In case (a) and (b) the documentation on $wgUseGzip = true; should be updated to warn users of . -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
