file size gzip size file
js 217.4K 217.4K js/scripts-0004.min.js
css 53.3K 53.3K css/style-0004.min.css
why does gzip return files with the same size?
do they need additional packages for gzip on ubuntu 12.04 + python + nginx server.
nginx.conf
http {
##
# Gzip Settings
##
gzip on;
gzip_disable "msie6";
gzip_vary on;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
gzip_http_version 1.1;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
}
>>> r = urllib2.urlopen(urllib2.Request('/style-0004.min.css', ... headers={'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip;q=1.0, *;q=0'}))
>>> print r.info()

There’s a problem with my current browser. Chromium for ubuntu 12.04.
I tried checking the gzipped files on mozilla firefox and i received the compressed files.
But I could not figure out why its happening with this browser because it fetches compressed files from other domains like facebook, google. and not mine!
