  • 0

I have a django-nonrel app running in Google App Engine and am wanting all the content to be gzipped.

I keep reading that GAE automatically gzips the content but when I check the headers using Firefox’s web developer toolbar I get the following result:

Via: 1.1 TL-ISA1
Connection: Keep-Alive
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Expires: Thu, 09 Dec 2010 12:23:46 GMT
Date: Thu, 09 Dec 2010 12:23:46 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Etag: "463ad22512f09050f76a291c11d9746d"
Server: Google Frontend
Last-Modified: Thu, 09 Dec 2010 12:23:46 GMT
Cache-Control: max-age=0

200 OK

I was expecting to see Content-Encoding: gzip, but since it is not there, my assumption is that the content is not being gzipped as it should.

Am I missing something? For example, do I need to do something extra if I am using django-nonrel?

Just to add, I am new to Web development – so don’t be afraid to patronise. Thanks

    Gzip should work out of the box, you are probably requesting the page through a proxy.
