Accept-Encoding ignored for some resources

webzwo0i commented 4 years ago

Some resources ignore Accept-Encoding: gzip

CSS (gets minified with clean-css but not compressed during transfer)
static/js path (html10n, l10n, require-kernel, ...)
static/skins/*.js
socket.io
fonts
plugin-definition.json, locales.json

For most production setups it shouldn't matter, because a proxy in between will compress the files on demand. However, it might have a small impact on our saucelabs runner performance (atm it transfers ~115MB for all the tests). Also, when Express is serving Etherpad without a proxy bandwidth will be wasted.
