Hello, I'm trying to see ways in which OpenGrok could be optimised with nginx.
One of the ideas I have is using nginx to serve the /xref/ pages, instead of them going through OpenGrok each time. OpenGrok (the indexer) pre-generates the body of the /xref/ pages, and stores the resulting html as .gz files, but those files don't have any header/footer, and require to be presented within "<pre>" and "</pre>", which OpenGrok (the webapp) then adds on the fly.
Would it be possible to use `add_before_body` and `add_after_body` (http://nginx.org/docs/http/ngx_http_addition_module.html), together with `gzip_static always` (http://nginx.org/docs/http/ngx_http_gzip_static_module.html), together with `gunzip on` (http://nginx.org/docs/http/ngx_http_gunzip_module.html), to replace passing /xref/ to OpenGrok (the webapp)?
Technically, gzip / deflate is a stream encoding, so, supposedly, there'd be no need to decode and re-encode the .gz files, but some special handling will probably still have to be performed nonetheless.
I presume a scenario as above would not currently work (but I might as well be wrong); however, does this sound like something that's potentially interesting, and not overly difficult and complicated to fix up? Or would it be simpler to amend all the /xref/ pages for all of them to redundantly include the needed header and footer?
