I've found a lovely issue with IE6 that doesn't allow .swf files to consume XML files that are compressed with gzip so I'm trying to figure out how to turn off gzip compression for two locations.

One is anything under the /dashboard/gauge/ and the other is anything under /graphs/

Here's my attempt which doesn't seem to be working:

Attempt 1: server { ... location / { if ($uri ~* /dashboard/gauge*) { gzip off; } ...

Attempt 2:

server { ... location ^~ /dashboard/gauge* { gzip off; }

location / { ...

Any suggestions on how to do this?

The "if" has many limitation, so it's better to use

location /graphs/ { gzip off; ... }

location /dashboard/gauge/ { gzip off; ... }
