<div dir="ltr">Hey all,<div><br></div><div>I'm running nginx 1.2.6 from a packaged install on Ubuntu 13.04. I'm at a total loss as to how this is happening but I simply cannot disable gzip compression for my server no matter what I try. Setting gzip off; in nginx.conf in the http context doesn't work. I modified the default config setting that was already there. I even moved it to the bottom of the section to see if maybe there was something else that was toggling it on after that config entry. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Is there something else I can look for that would be enabling gzip compression on my server? I saw there's a static gzip compression module that's optionally compiled in but that doesn't seem relevant to my situation as this is a REST call.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Here's my response header from curl which does not appear to gzip compress:</div><div><br></div><div><div>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</div><div>Server: nginx/1.2.6 (Ubuntu)</div><div>Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2013 00:08:26 GMT</div>
