Gzip compression of static files on google cloud storage breaks site












2















I host my static site on google cloud storage.



My files without gzip compression make my site work perfectly.



When I gzip my files locally (with gzip -r folder) prior to upload to my cloud storage bucket and run following command, my whole site breaks (images, js, css, all broken - no style information found warning etc.)



gsutil -m -h content-encoding:gzip rsync -c -r ~/my-gzipped-folder gs://example.com



Why the error and how to fix?










share|improve this question























  • If I understand correctly, then decompressive transcoding is enabled somehow and that causes my site to break. To prevent/disable the transcoding I used gsutil setmeta -h cache-control:no-transform gs://example.com/* (right after my above rsync code with the content-encoding:gzip) but the setmeta command did not work, it did nothing.

I think the answer to your question may be lying here.




There are two ways to prevent decompressive transcoding from
occurring:



If the request for the object includes an Accept-Encoding: gzip
header, the object is served as-is in that specific request, along
with a Content-Encoding: gzip response header.



If the Cache-Control metadata field for the object is set to
no-transform, the object is served as a compressed object in all
subsequent requests, regardless of any Accept-Encoding request
headers.
