# Nginx Zopfli test
This repository contains some files that make it easy to test whether [Nginx](http://nginx.org/) is correctly serving [Zopfli](https://code.google.com/p/zopfli/)-pre-compressed files using [the gzip_static module](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpGzipStaticModule).
## Instructions
Move the `gzip-test` folder to your Nginx document root (`/usr/local/var/www` by default).
Then, run Nginx with `gzip off; gzip_static on` in the `nginx.conf`. You can use the provided `nginx.conf` file for this:
```bash
nginx -c "$(pwd)/nginx.conf"
```
Then, test the various files:
```bash
$ curl -s -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate" "http://localhost:8080/gzip-test/no-compression.js" | wc -c
240196
$ curl -s -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate" "http://localhost:8080/gzip-test/gzip.js" | wc -c
71100
$ curl -s -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate" "http://localhost:8080/gzip-test/zopfli.js" | wc -c
67379
```
If those are the numbers you’re getting, Nginx’s gzip_static module is serving the Zopflinated file correctly. For easy comparison, here are the real file sizes:
```
$ ls -lsa
