mime_type

Syntax

mime_type = minimum_doc_size:[compression_level]

Description

Enables or disables HTTP compression based on the mime-type of the response and the size of the returned document.

Options

mime_type
The mime_type can contain a wild card pattern such as an asterisk ( * ) for the subtype, or it can be "*/*" to match all mime-types.
minimum_doc_size
The minimum_doc_size is an integer than can be positive, negative or zero. A size of -1 means do not compress this mime-type. A size of 0 means to compress the document regardless of its size. A size greater than 0 means to compress the document only when its initial size is greater than or equal to minimum_doc_size.
compression_level
The compression_level is an integer value between 1 and 9. The larger number results in a higher amount of compression. When compression-level is not specified, a default level of 1 is used.
