965	gzip_static isn't working with proxy_pass	tomcruise81@…		"I've been trying to get [http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gzip_static_module.html gzip_static] working for a few days now. It appears that it only works for [http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#location location's] configured for direct serving of content (i.e. with a '''root''') versus location's with a [http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_pass proxy_pass].

For instance, here's a portion of my nginx.conf file:

{{{
        # ROOT_LOCATION
        location / {
            gzip            on;
            gzip_comp_level 6;
            gzip_vary       on;
            gzip_min_length 1000;
            gzip_proxied    any;
            gzip_types      text/plain text/html text/css application/json text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss;
            gzip_buffers    16 8k;

            proxy_pass      http://localhost:3001/;
        }

        ## GZIPPED_ABSOLUTE - WORKS - C:/WS/application is where http://localhost:3001 is rooted
        #location /dist/gzipped {
        #    gzip_static    on;
        #    root           C:/WS/application;
        #}

        ## GZIPPED_PROXIED - DOESN'T WORK!!
        #location /dist/gzipped {
        #    gzip_proxied    any;
        #    gzip_vary       on;
        #    gzip_static     on;
        #    proxy_pass      http://localhost:3001/dist/gzipped;
        #}
}}}

I have both a boot.js file and a boot.js.gz version of the same file under C:/WS/application/dist/gzipped.

1. Requesting boot.js with the ""Accept-Encoding: gzip"" header and '''ONLY''' the ROOT_LOCATION section of the config un-commented results in the boot.js file being compressed on the fly (this can be verified by changing the [http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gzip_module.html#gzip_comp_level gzip_comp_level]) and being returned with ""Content-Encoding: gzip"" and ""Content-Type: application/javascript"" among other things.
2. Requesting boot.js with the ""Accept-Encoding: gzip"" header and '''BOTH''' the ROOT_LOCATION and the GZIPPED_ABSOLUTE sections of the config un-commented results in the compressed boot.js.gz file being returned. This can be verified by checking the ""Content-Length"" header against the size of boot.js.gz.
3. Requesting boot.js with the ""Accept-Encoding: gzip"" header and '''BOTH''' the ROOT_LOCATION and the GZIPPED_PROXIED sections of the config un-commented results in the un-compressed boot.js file being returned. This can be verified by checking the ""Content-Encoding"" header and seeing that the response was not gzipped as well as checking the ""Content-Length"" header against the size of boot.js.

'''List item 3''' is where my problem and I believe a bug lies. I've verified that the version of nginx that I'm running was compiled with the '''--with-http_gzip_static_module''' option. Additionally, I've enabled writing to the error_log at the debug level. I see entries related to http static show up with the GZIPPED_ABSOLUTE section enabled, but not when I have the GZIPPED_PROXIED section enabled.

Please help!
