| What this plugin does: |
| |
| ===================== |
| this plugin compresses responses, via gzip or brotli, whichever is applicable |
| it can compress origin responses as well as cached responses |
| |
| installation: |
| make && sudo make install |
| |
| if no makefile is present, you can compile it using |
| tsxs -o compress.so *.cc |
| and then install it using |
| tsxs -i -o compress.so |
| |
| after installation, add a line to plugin.config: |
| compress.so |
| |
| in this case, the plugin will use a default behaviour: |
| - use caching |
| - compress text/* for every origin |
| - don't hide accept encoding from origin servers (for an offloading reverse proxy) |
| - no urls are disallowed from compression |
| |
| alternatively, a configuration can also be specified: |
| compress.so <path-to-config>/sample.compress.config |
| |
| after modifying plugin.config, restart traffic server (sudo traffic_ctl server restart) |
| the configuration is re-read when a management update is given (sudo traffic_ctl config reload) |
| |
| See sample.config.compress for an example configuration and the options that are available |
