I've configured my site to serve compressed content by putting this line in .htaccessAddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/javascript text/css application/javascript application/jsonThis works perfectly for almost all files except a few large JSON files that are above 200Kb. For some reason they are not being compressed. I see that they don't using the net tab in firebug and the Network section in chrome.So as a workaround I thought I could compress these files offline and have Apache read them compressed.What tool should I use to compress them? is the linux gzip the one? any special flags or something I should use?What should I put in .htaccess so that the server would know to serve these files with content-encoding gzip ?
Gzip compress offline?
apache;htaccess;gzip
