I've enabled gzip for by Ruby on Rails application using webpack
After asset:precompile, I can see gzipped assets in my public folder.
This is my configuration for Apache, where I'm asking it to serve gzip assets when available -
<LocationMatch "^/assets/.*$">
Header unset ETag
FileETag None
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"
Header merge Cache-Control public
Header unset Set-Cookie
SetEnv no-gzip
</LocationMatch>
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} \b(x-)?gzip\b
RewriteCond /path/to/app/public%{REQUEST_FILENAME}.gz -s
RewriteRule ^(.+) $1.gz [L]
<FilesMatch \.css\.gz$>
ForceType text/css
Header set Content-Encoding gzip
</FilesMatch>
But then, when I'm loading the app from the browser, it seems as though the browser is trying to evaluate the gzipped javascript file as is without performing decompression.
Am I doing something wrong with the configuration in Apache?
