Pre compressed css and javascript

Hi,

I have configured my httpd instance to serve pre-compressed css and
java script. But I have two issues.

My httpd configuration is as follows.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "logs/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 5

AddEncoding gzip .gz

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-encoding} gzip
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !Safari

# is the request for a js or css file?
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).(js|css)$
# is there a gziped version of the file?
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.gz -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.gz [QSA,L]

Issue 1 is that the last RewriteCond never matches even though I can
request the gz version directly from the browser. Odly I have no non
gzipped version of the file on the server so requesting it results in
me being served the gzipped version.

192.168.1.46 - - [04/Oct/2010:14:25:34 +0100]
[www.journeycheck.southwesttrains.co.uk/sid#973c5d8][rid#98a b4c0/initial]
(2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /southwesttrains/main.css

(1) pass through /southwesttrains/main.css


Issue 2 is that although the browser has the following warning when
loading the page.

FireFox:

Warning: The stylesheet
http://www.journeycheck.southwesttrains.co.uk/southwesttrain s/main.css
was loaded as CSS even though its MIME type, "application/x-gzip", is
not "text/css".
Source File: http://www.journeycheck.southwesttrains.co.uk/southwesttrain s/index.html
Line: 0

Chrome:

Resource interpreted as stylesheet but transferred with MIME type
application/x-gzip.


Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Ben

in vhost context, you have to add the document root in yourself, since
the request hasn't actually been mapped to a file yet.

I meant on the RewriteCond itself. REQUEST_FILENAME is just the URI
unless your rules are in or .htaccess, because the request
has not been mapped to any filename yet.

Re: Pre compressed css and javascript

Eric,

Ah I see what you mean changing

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.gz -f

to

RewriteCond /usr/local/apache2/docs/www.journeycheck.southwesttrains.co. uk/=
%{REQUEST_FILENAME}.gz
-f

works.

Thank you

Ben

If I understand the docs correctly, this can also be fixed with
%{LA-U:REQUEST_FILENAME}

First off:

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME}.gz -f


But.. what about Options +MultiViews?

FWIW I think you need the "MutlViewsMatch any" and make sure your
requests are all for "foo" and not "foo.js", otherwise it doesn't kick
in (from my recollection).

Re: Pre compressed css and javascript

After more investigation the previous configuration did not actually
work correctly. The following does.

AddEncoding gzip .jgz
AddType application/javascript .jgz
AddEncoding gzip .cgz
AddType text/css .cgz

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*).js$
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-encoding} gzip
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME}.jgz -f
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !Safari [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Chrome
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.jgz [QSA,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*).css$
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-encoding} gzip
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME}.cgz -f
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !Safari [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Chrome
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.cgz [QSA,L]
