| What this plugin does: |
| ===================== |
| |
| This plugin compresses responses, via gzip, deflate, brotli, or zstd (Zstandard), whichever is applicable |
| it can compress origin responses as well as cached responses |
| |
| installation: |
| make && sudo make install |
| |
| 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.compress.config for an example configuration and the options that are available |
