gzip + backend (thin + rails) not working

[Krešimir Bojčić]

I am trying to use gzip on the fly to compress my .js and .css files that are normally cached.

Backend server is thin (rails cluster). I've read all that I could find online - and I am currently hitting the wall.

 

I am checking my page via http://www.gidnetwork.com/tools/gzip-test.php and SpeedPage firefox plugin.

I've tried so far:

 

clear cache

put gzip on command in various places (http, server, location)

I've been playing with "Accept-Encoding   '' "

 

 

This is my config

 

 

user root;

worker_processes  2;

 
  

  

 
error_log  logs/error.log;

  

 
pid        logs/nginx.pid;

  

 
  

events {

 
    worker_connections  1024;

}

 
  

  

 
  

http {

 
    include       mime.types;

    default_type  application/octet-stream;

 
  

    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '

 
                      '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '

                      '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

 
  

    access_log  logs/access.log  main;

 
    sendfile        on;

    keepalive_timeout  65;

 
    tcp_nodelay off;

    tcp_nopush on;

 
    gzip  on;

    gzip_vary on;

 
    gzip_comp_level 2;

    gzip_proxied any;

 
    gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
