similar to: Gzip compression

Hi Folks, We''re moving from a single lighttpd-hosted Rails box to a Apache/ mongrel cluster. In lighttpd, mod_compress had a very nice feature: if there''s a static file, it would compress it in a user-specified compress folder. If the file hasn''t changed, it would just serve out the compress file; if the file has changed, it would recompress it and serve it out.

This GemPlugin will gzip your HTTP responses from mongrel if the client says that it supports it (eg, most modern browsers). I''ve tested it in IE6, Firefox 1.5 and Firefox 2.0RC3 Install: gem install gzip_filter --source http://edenli.com Configure (assuming rails): cd RAILS_ROOT echo ''uri "/", :handler => plugin("/handlers/gzipfilter")''

I''m really lost on this issue. Do I need to reinstall rails / gems? The rest of my rails setup seems to be working. I just can''t run dispatch.fcgi. (Details in original message below). I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. I''m not even positive it is supposed to be runnable from the command line. I found a troubleshooting guide that implied it was supposed to

I''d like to implement output compression in Mongrel (ala Apache''s mod_deflate). I have found a Rails plugin that, with minor modification, works. Is there even an advantage to moving the output compression from the Rails app to a Mongrel handler? Unless, of course, someone knows how to configure mod_proxy_balancer with mod_deflate... == Will Green Web Developer & IT

I want to overload the = operator for one of the attributes in a model to run a filter on the input. However I can''t do this: def attribute=(data) self.attribute = filter(data) end because that creates an infinite recursive loop. How do I get around this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all how to make a WML view for rails pages? I''ve tried to create like: <wml> <card> CONTENT </card> </wml> but my phone says unsupported content type... thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve had a right fun few days at work trying to figure out why our Rails app (which isn''t under very heavy load) kept eating memory and bringing our server to our knees. Eventually I traced it to send_file (which was in a way a relief as it wasn''t down to my coding ;) -- every time a user started downloading, the memory consumed by the app would jump, and

Anyone know anything about using mod_deflate gzipping with Rails? I''ve got it enabled in our .htaccess but it doesn''t seem to handle gzip anything going through Rails. Any ideas?

Hello, I want to a select tag, where you can choose a number between 1 and 100.

Is there a way I can read the user agent or something similar to determine whether the person is using IE, Mozilla/Netscape, Opera, Safari, etc? I want to dynamically output the CSS to the browser, but I''d like to change certain things (in this case the widths of some divs since IE adds borders and padding size to the total size of a div unlike firefox). Thanks, - Brent

I have a website up and running on TextDrive with Rails/lighttpd/fcgi. Unfortunately, as my account is a "shared server" account on TxD, they kill processes that are hogging resources (quite understandably). Unfortunately for me, my Ruby fcgi processes load up rather ... large (just under 50mb). It doesn''t take much to push it to 50mb, at which point it gets killed. Does

Hi there, I thought it''s rather neat to use the javascript compression from http://dojotoolkit.org/docs/compressor_system.html This removes javascript comments and renames variables and seems pretty reliable and effective. For example, I keep the original htmlarea.js file from http://xinha.gogo.co.nz/ in a file htmlarea.js.txt and it compresses from 200K to 100K. With gzip it

I''m trying to update a table row (i.e. replace a <tr></tr>) using AJAX/RJS but of course this cannot be done in IE (works fine in Firefox). I have googled but have not found any solutions, only a lot of discussion. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Cheers, Nicholas
