Hello Hector,

I would like to ask if you were successful with enabling gzip compression on your server.

I've been playing with nszlib in the past couple of days and like you I have been unable to get aolserver 4.5 to server gzip content.

However, I found that if I remove 0-acs-init.tcl and zz-postload.tcl from openacs/tcl/ aolserver ns_zlib works.

I'm guessing that it must be something in acs-init that is overriding ns_zlib.

I'm trying to trace acs-init now with the hopes of pin pointing exactly what is preventing compressed content and I was wondering if you have had any luck.

Thanks,

Hamilton

Hello Hamilton,

No, I couldn't, but i did a workaround using nginx to serve the pages in top of aolserver, as seen in malte's tutorial.

Now, nginx is doing gzip compression, ssl negotiation and serving static content (css, js, images...).

BTW, aolserver without ssl didn't restart with signal 11 errors anymore.

Greetings, Héctor
