[Cherokee] Cherokee/Output Compression

[Jaime Bozza]

Hello all,

 

I have a question that I can’t really seem to figure out. I’d like to use output compress with Cherokee and PHP pages, but I only want to turn it on for certain mime-types. For instance, I’d like to not gzip any images that I create using PHP.

 

Is there a way to turn on Deflate/gzip based on mime type, or some other set of options that I can selectively use compression through Cherokee in a situation like this?

 

Jaime

By default compression is not enabled. So you could set extensions with
non-final rules that explicitly enable it.

In the bugtracker I have asked for a feature that would allow compression
to be marked by mime-type, a flag, that specifies, if in the general
case, the file should be deflated. I guess this is what you are asking for
too.

Right - Setting extensions...   Unfortunately, that doesn't work if my PHP file is named "captcha.php" (for instance), yet outputs a mime type of image/jpeg.  I wouldn't want to pass all ".jpg" files through PHP and creating specific entries for each PHP script that outputs a different mime type would be quite annoying.

Looks like I'll just stick with PHP's output compression for now!

Thanks!

Jaime
