Did some more reading and trial and error and have it now working as
followed:
1) In Apache config file:
a):
<Directory "YOUR GWT DIR" >
Options +MultiViews
AddEncoding x-gzip .gz .tgz
</Directory>
b):
<FilesMatch "\..js.gz$">
ForceType text/javascript
</FilesMatch>
2) Remove all original not-gzipped files such that content negotiation
occurs.
If you remove b) (which I would like) it doesn't work as the Content-
Type that the browser receives of a js.gz will be application/x-gzip
which is wrong as it must be text/javascript, otherwise it doesnt
work. Config snippet b) will force this.
I would suppose that b) isn't necessary and that Apache would discover
and set this them self... but it didn't...
So the question now: is this the way to do it??
My complain: I have to add b) snippets for every content type that is
gzipped: css, js, xml, html, etc.. That seem awkward...
Example of request and response headers:
