[TYPO3-english] scriptmerger and compression

[Steffen Gebert]

Hi,

> Im wondering, whats wrong with scriptmerger and the compression of JS
> and CSS.
Is the one client sitting behind an ancient HTTP/1.0 proxy? I also had 
some issues with those (as they don't speak gzip). However, I fixed this 
together with Stefan and recent versions of EXT:scriptmerger should work 
flawlessly in this constellation.
Please check that you're .htaccess rules contain the most recent rules.

In this case, also other browsers will fail on this specific client (if 
they use the same proxy..).

This only enables gzip for the TYPO3 output, not for static files. You 
should use compressionLevel for your content and EXT:scriptmerger for 
your includes.

Kind regards
Steffen
