I think whoever you're talking about at Akamai isn't being very helpful. I know at a minimum you can simply not use compression between you and Akamai and then turn on content-acceleration and Akmai will do the compression for you. But I'm pretty sure they can also support compression from the origin as well. Using a random css file from Godady's website: http://img2.wsimg.com/pc_css/1/gd_H_20130624_http.min.css If I do the following with and without the --compressed I see that the file is cached: $ curl -H 'Pragma: akamai-x-cache-on, akamai-x-get-cache-key, akamai-x-get-true-cache-key, akamai-x-serial-no' -v -o /dev/null http://img2.wsimg.com/pc_css/1/gd_H_20130624_http.min.css (note the X-Cache response with TCP_MEM_HIT). Using the X-Cache-Key header you can find the origin server which is images.secureserver.net in this case... Hitting it like so: $ curl --compressed -v -o /dev/null http://img2.wsimg.com/pc_css/1/gd_H_20130624_http.min.css I see that they are using Content-Encoding: gzip and Vary: Accept-Encoding. I'm not sure if there's some config they have on their side to avoid Akamai request compression or for their origin server to refuse to give Akamai gzip. Unfortunately I don't have an Akamai setup anymore to play with. Thing is Akamai benefits from properly supporting this because their bandwidth bill to retrieve data from the origin server goes down. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
