NGINX does not GZIP scripts with version parameters

[Xavier1234]

Hi,

I'm using latest plesk with ubuntu 12.04, apache and nginx, gzip is enabled and working fine, except for JS and CSS files wich have version parameters in the URI, for example :
http://domain.com/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/res/css/language-selector.css?v=3.1.9.7

here is my conf in /etc/nginx/conf.d/gzip.conf :

gzip         on;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types   text/plain text/css application/javascript application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript image/x-icon image/bmp image/svg+xml;
gzip_vary    on;

Gzip is working fine for every other ressources loaded
I know i can strip these ?ver= using PHP, but if nginx could just enqueue them properly as they are, i would be the happiest man, thank you!

Thank you

Hi Xavier1234,

how do you check, if "...v=3.1.9.7" is being compressed or not? As a matter of fact, the additional string should not be a reason for nginx to not compress such files. Please make sure, that apache AND nginx have the same corresponding gzip - settings.

Hi Xavier1234,

how do you check, if "...v=3.1.9.7" is being compressed or not?

Hello and thank you, i check using http://gtmetrix.com/ gtmetrics tells me that all files ending with a parameter ?v=x.x.x or ?ver=x.x.x are not compressed, if i strip the parameter using php, they end up being compressed

Please make sure, that apache AND nginx have the same corresponding gzip - settings.

Apache:

SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
    SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:rar|zip)$ no-gzip dont-vary
    SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|jpg|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
    SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:avi|mov|mp4)$ no-gzip dont-vary
    SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.mp3$ no-gzip dont-vary
</IfModule>

and
here is my conf in /etc/nginx/conf.d/gzip.conf :

gzip         on;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.(?!.*SV1)";
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types   text/plain text/css application/javascript application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript image/x-icon image/bmp image/svg+xml;
gzip_vary    on;

Hi Xavier1234,

if you use wordpress, you might wish to use the additional code in your theme - specific - functions.php:

        function _remove_script_version( $src ){
            $parts = explode( '?', $src );
            return $parts[0];
        }
        add_filter( 'script_loader_src', '_remove_script_version', 15, 1 );
        add_filter( 'style_loader_src', '_remove_script_version', 15, 1 );
