Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Assets and the HTML itself on Bugzilla is not served Gzipped. 

Since Bugzilla is fronted by this should be easy to implement.

I put "HTML" in a bracket since that might be harder to enable (not knowing one iota about how it's currently set up) than for regular CSS and Javascript.

I'd be happy to resolve this but if all .css and .js are dealt with only if that makes things easier.

I'm fairly sure this is already being done.

Bugzilla should already be doing gzip compression (if the client advertises support for it) for content of the following MIME types:

application/x-javascript
text/css
text/plain
text/html

I have added 2 more as well, just in case:

text/javascript
application/javascript

(I checked... I seem to be getting application/x-javascript for .js files, so this should be a no-op.)


Can you provide a link of anything that's being served in an uncompressed state? On a spot-check I don't see any problems.

Sorry for distracting. I did check with curl as per the usual way but I must have missed it. Sorry.
