NGINX location directive - Not serving gzip pre-compressed files
Hi all!
I have a Wordpress website where I am trying to serve through nginx, gzip pre-compressed html files generated by Wp Super Cache plugin and for that I created a location directive with special headers and gzip off. For an unknown reason to me nginx is not taking in consideration the content-header options and whenever I access a page Firefox is attempting to download gz files.
Could you please tell me what am I doing wrong ?
Nginx is not throwing errors.
nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
I really appreciate your help!
Here is the code:
set $full_cachefile '/wp-wontent/cache/supercache/$http_host${condition}';
set $full_gzipcachefile '/wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host${condition}';
location ~ /wp-content/cache/supercache.*html$ {
add_header Vary "Accept-Encoding, Cookie";
add_header Pragma "public";
add_header Cache-Control "max-age=3600, public";
}
location ~ /wp-content/cache/supercache.*gz$ {
gzip off;
types {}
default_type text/html;
add_header Vary "Accept-Encoding, Cookie";
add_header Pragma "public";
add_header Cache-Control "max-age=3600, public";
add_header Content-Encoding gzip;
}
location / {
set $cachefile $full_cachefile${uri}index-https.html;
set $gzipcachefile $full_cachefile${uri}index-https.html.gz;
try_files $gzipcachefile $cachefile $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {

You may need to try using gzip_static rather than your current configuration. This module enables checking for pre-compressed files. The Nginx website has more information here; there are several flags you can use to optimize it for your use case. Make sure to restart Nginx after making these changes so they're picked up immediately :)
