Rails - Mar 2008 - apache deflate not working with prototype.js?1234

I''m trying to compress javascript files using apache''s
deflate.  Here is my
config:

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/xml text/plain text/css
application/x-javascript text/javascript;
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html


When I load the page I look in firebug and /prototype.js?1204654418 is 76kb.
If I open that same file by itself and remove the ?1204... it''s only
22kb


What is the point of the ?23847 and am I right to assume that it is
effecting the deflate rules?

Also, I came across this line but adding it doesn''t seem to help:

RewriteRule "^/(images|stylesheets|flash|javascripts)/?(.*)"
"$0" [L]

Thanks!

I''m not sure but try this:

AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript

# Enable deflate logging for debug
DeflateFilterNote Input instream
DeflateFilterNote Output outstream
DeflateFilterNote Ratio ratio

LogFormat ''"%r" %{outstream}n/%{instream}n
(%{ratio}n%%)'' deflate
CustomLog logs/deflate_log deflate

This will give you the log that will tell you what mod deflate is
doing...
