The gzip_static static module seems like something that could help us
during high traffic events. I didn’t see a wiki entry for it…is there
some documentation?

Thanks…and happy new year to the list!

./configure --with-http_gzip_static_module …

 location /js/ {
     gzip_static   on;

     # common directives with gzip filter module
     gzip_http_version   1.1;
     gzip_proxied        expired no-cache no-store private auth;
     gzip_disable        "MSIE [1-6]\.";
     gzip_vary           on;
 }

Then a request /js/prototype.js will be handled by /js/prototype.js or
by precompressed /js/prototype.js.gz if it is exist.

Try to keep the same keep modification time of both files.

Thank you. Could you also add

gzip_disable regex [regex …];

It disables gzipped content for browsers with matched User-Agent.
The directive works for both gzip_static and gzip.
