Compress files with django_compressor to gzip

Question

I use django_compressor to compress my js and css files. It creates combined files successfully. But this app also allow to zip files. To enable this I created

COMPRESS_STORAGE = 'compressor.storage.GzipCompressorFileStorage'

in my settings.py. In compressor work dir there are now gzip files for css and js. But after checking html with firebug it looks like gzip files are not during rendering process. How can I change it?

Answer 1

django-compressor disables most of its actual machinery in development (DEBUG=True) for obvious reasons, so it's likely this too will only work in production.
