deflate not working properly with gziploader

On files managed by dolphins caching/compression (gzip_loader.php) deflate does not work properly. Files are delivered with "Content-Encodinggzip" but the ratio is 1 (no compression).

If you disable "Enable Compression For JS/CSS Files" deflate works on (bx_templ) css files but not (ratio 1) on js files.

By the way: Is anyone reading bug reports and entering them into trac at all or do I have to pay more just to report bugs?

You will need to disable caching through gzip_loader.php file if you need to enable compression to static resources (css/js).

In your current case - it loads styles and scripts dynamically (using this PHP file), it can not be considered as static css/js files.

So its no bug that it sends "Content-Encoding: gzip" with a compression ratio of 1? Please explain.

I had problems with javascripts caching on my development site so I disabled it for my javacripts to work. There might be a bug to be looked at. 

I guess they are talking about how to set a compression ratio, not about non-working javascripts caching.

This is a serious waste of resources/load time and easily fixed.

On demo you get 50-75% of total size from not compressed gzip_loader files! With every page access!

Turns out WebKit inspector relies on Content-Length: header. gzip_loader doesn't send it.

But I don't get why you don't let the web server do the work:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}gz -f
RewriteRule (.*\.[a-z]{2,4})$ $1gz [L]
AddType "text/css;charset=UTF-8" .cssgz
AddEncoding gzip .cssgz

Dolphin can gzip this content, there is setting option to turn it on or off.

By default it is enabled and as you can see on demo.boonex.com is working:

It is possible to disable gzipping in Dolphin and rely on web-server to do gzipping (demo.boonex.com webserver is setup this way as well):

As you can see result is very similar in both cases, however second variant may require custom web-server tuning which is difficult for some people, in Dolphin - it's easy - just a checkbox.

Yea, my last post was supposed to mean: WebKit had a bug and reported wrong compression ratio – no dolphin bug.

With the rewrite method all you had to do in php is create the corresponding gz file (together with the uncompressed one) if compression is enabled in settings – no gzip loader needed.
