    Hi there,

    just wondering wether you can use gzip-compression bound to the frontend (the communication between End User –> HAproxy (which redistributes to 3 webservers). I tried to pass through

    "compression algo gzip
    compression type text/html text/plain text/javascript application/javascript application/xml text/css application/json" (frontend advanced pass thru)

    but i could not establish a single compressed connection.

    Does HAProxy-Devel support gzip at all? Or does ist have to be compiled against gzip or something? If so - how can I accomplish it?

    Thank you very much =)

      haproxy-devel is compiled with zlib 1.2.3
      you can check by running "haproxy -vv" on a ssh/console shell.

      adding this to a stats page shows that its compressed when requesting it from firefox..

      compression algo gzip
      compression type text/html text/plain
      

      you are using frontend type 'http' ?

        Hello,
        Is there an updated step by step way to do this?

        It is unclear if things have been changed since this original post was made but there isn't an apparent way to do this.

        Thanks in advance!
