Content Compression via Rack::Deflater,Rails and Ngnix

Rails
1

I have followed this content-compression-with-rack-deflater
http://robots.thoughtbot.com/content-compression-with-rack-deflater.

In my ngnix.conf

  gzip on;
  gzip_http_version 1.0;
  gzip_proxied any;
  # See http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpGzipModule#gzip_types
  # This gets rid of a warning about repeated text/html
  gzip_types text/plain text/xml text/css
         text/comma-separated-values
         text/javascript application/x-javascript
         application/atom+xml;

I have restarted both servers,But the response is coming like this.

Hi kingston,

maybe I’m wrong but I think that you are compressing the same html 2
times:
first your Rack compress and send via Puma, then your nginx get this and
compress again. The browser only decompress 1 time and think that the
result is the final text. Try to disable your ngnix compression and
check
if in the “Response Header”, the “Content-Encoding” will still getting a
“gzip” result. Also, for your assets, its better to use the precompiled
gzip that Rails produces than compile on-the-fly - this will reduce your
server load considerably (check the 4.1.2 item - “GZip Compression”:
The Asset Pipeline — Ruby on Rails Guides).
