Disable gzip compression on pages

[tdicks]

I'm running Seahub through an IIS reverse proxy and would like to rewrite the content outputted by seahub to adjust the links to be correct. Unfortunately I can't do the rewrite as the page output is gzipped so I wondered if there's a way to disable the compression.

I believe Seahub uses django which I have no experience in whatsoever, so I'm wondering if the configuration setting might be in there rather than Seahub itself. Any pointers?

What do you mean by " to adjust the links to be correct"?

If the output of the proxied service (in this case seahub) isn't gzipped, the URL Rewrite module can parse the HTML and change any links matching the internal URL to one which is externally accessible. The problem is the module can't do this when the output from seahub is compressed.

Yeah, I understand what you mean, by I'm curious about why do you want to rewrite the links inside the HTML?

Oh right! When I access Seahub on the port it's actually running on (8777), file downloads work fine. Via the reverse proxy with IIS, I can navigate the site but can't download single files or folders as a ZIP, it just comes up with Sorry, but the requested page could not be found..

I changed the SERVICE_URL in ccnet.conf to make the share download links generate properly, but I might not fully understand the impact of doing this elsewhere in Seahub.

Can you paste your ccnet.conf and seahub_settings.py?

Yep sure, here's ccnet.conf:

[General]
USER_NAME = my-seafile
ID = 33130e7454daafe4e8a7fb663cbd5cae75ca097c
NAME = captec-extshare
SERVICE_URL = http://extshare.captec-group.com

[Network]
PORT = 10001

[Client]
PORT = 13418

And this is seahub_settings.py:

SECRET_KEY = 'xxx'
CLOUD_MODE = True
SITE_TITLE = 'Captec External Share'
SITE_NAME = SITE_TITLE
BRANDING_CSS = 'custom/captec.css'
LOGO_PATH = 'custom/captec_logo.jpg'

# Email settings
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'xxx'        # smtp server
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'xxx'    # username and domain
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'xxx'    # password
EMAIL_PORT = '25'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'xxx'
SERVER_EMAIL = 'xxx'

Private config items are replaced with xxx. I remember there was another config file I had to edit to change the Seahub port to 8777.
