Description

Environment:
Path /foo/bar/ contains an XML-file foobar.xml, its compressed version foobar.xml.gz and a stylesheet foobar.xsl.

Configuration (simplified):

location / {
    root /;
    gzip_static on;
}
location /foo/bar/test/ {
    alias /foo/bar/;
    index foobar.xml;
    xslt_stylesheet /foo/bar/feed.xsl;
    xslt_last_modified on;
}

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Navigate to http://example.com/foo/bar/test

Expected behavior:
Generated XHTML page is sent to the browser and displayed appropriately.

Actual result:
Error 500: Internal Server Error.
This appears in the error log:

[error] 31057#0: *1 libxml2 error: "Document is empty" while sending response to client
[error] 31057#0: *1 xmlParseChunk() failed, error:4 while sending response to client

Workaround:
Add gzip_static off; to location /foo/bar/test/.

However, this obviously disables the feature for all the files available through /foo/bar/test/. As the XML file is used as the index, I don't see an elegant way to disable gzip_static just for that file, as using location = /foo/bar/test/ will override all other options set in location /foo/bar/test/ and duplicating all options in both locations is undesirable.

Notes:
According to this topic: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?21,120601,120601, the error is caused when libxml2 receives compressed input. It seems doubtful to me that current behavior (serving the precompressed file to libxml2) is correct.
