Re: mod_strip newline substitution problem

This is our first released module (called
ngx_http_html_clean_filter_module.c) and you could read the description
(in spanish) at:

Thank you for posting this!

Can this be used to strip unnecessary whitespace from .js files?
For example:
var abc = “hi there”;
becomes
var abc=“hi there”;

and
if (myvar = ‘a b’ && x = 3) return y == j ? y + 3 : y - 1;
becomes:
if(myvar=‘a b’&&x=3)return y==j?y+3:y-1;

Will it work like this? If so, am I right to assume I can use it with
other modules like the on-the-fly gzip so that your module will first
strip the unnecessary whitespace from my .js files and then the gzip
module will do its compression on the stripped version?

Thanks!!

No, only deletes spaces at the beginning of the line. The module would
need a parser of JS to delete those spaces.

The target is deleted unnecesary spaces very-very fast in dynamic
elements (ex: html pages). We treated JS files like static and,
therefore, we processed them (ex: jsmin) before and store them in the
disc already clean and GZed.
