HTTP Compression

Ive enabled (v11.4) the standard http compression on a VS. I have a http profile also enabled. If I then test I dont see the nessecary headers returned.....

curl -IL -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate' http://192.168.1.1/index.php
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 01 Aug 2014 13:44:38 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS)
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.3
Content-Type: image/jpeg

Any ideas ?

    Probably related, there would be no point in compressing image/jpg

     

    The default mime types enabled for compression are only text and application/xml|x-javascript.

     

    Check your webserver, if you fix the mime type it is responding with(or is index.php file really a jpg and the webserver is correct?) it will start compressing.

    Thanks, however even if i create a text file it still fails to compress. Even though the content-type is shown as text/plain,

    [admin@server ~]$ curl -IL  -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate'  http://192.168.1.1/compress.txt
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
