Set Vary: Accept-Encoding Header (nginx)

Question

I have an nginx server and can't seem to find any information on how to send Vary: Accept-Encoding headers for CSS and JS files. Does anyone have info about this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

This is from the nginx documentation.

gzip_vary syntax: gzip_vary on|off default: gzip_vary off context: http, server, location 

Enables response header of "Vary: Accept-Encoding". Note that this header causes IE 4-6 not to cache the content due to a bug (see 2 ).

There if you just add gzip_vary on; it should do it's job.

Also make sure you have any one of the directives gzip, gzip_static, or gunzip are active.

Answer 2

Inside the server { of the domain/subdomain that you want to set it, add

    gzip on;     gzip_min_length  1100;     gzip_buffers  4 32k;     gzip_types    text/plain application/x-javascript text/xml text/css;     gzip_vary on; 

Save the file and restart nginx.
