I am trying to deflate files based on the FilesMatch condition, I tried this but it doesn’t deflate :
<FilesMatch \.js$>
SetOutputFilter Deflate
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /js/(.*.js) /pack.php?f=$1
</FilesMatch>
The rewrite rule works fine though.
Also, setting the SetOutputFilter Deflate outside the FilesMatch works as expected.
When apache rewrites a rule, it re-processes certain configurations (e.g
<Directory>,<DirectoryMatch>,<Files>,<FilesMatch>) to match against the “re-written” URL. This appears to be your problem.Split your rules into two
<FilesMatch>sections, one for.js$files and another for/pack.php. Or better, move the re-write rule outside the<FilesMatch>section and use a single<Files pack.php>section.
