Hi Igor,

Found the problem. Didn't read the logs well enough, the requests that didn't get compression were all 304's (not modified).

Sorry for the alarm.

tnx, Mathijs

I'm new to nginx but I already like it after just an hour of trying/configuring. I'm using nginx 0.5.32 as a load-balancer in front of some mongrel clusters (rails). I use this bit for gzip-compression:

gzip on; gzip_http_version 1.0; gzip_min_length 1100; gzip_comp_level 2; gzip_proxied any; gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css text/xml application/x-javascript application/pdf application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;

I also use "$gzip_ratio" in my logging-format.

I noticed gzipping works perfectly when firefox connects, but when IE6/7 connects to nginx, this field always shows "-".

Is there any known issue with gzip and IE ?

Responses for IE should be gzipped.

Could you make debug log:

./configure --with-debug ...

nginx.conf:

error_log /path/to/log debug;
