I've got some pressed javascript files being served by nginx:

<script type="application/javascript" src="js/shim.min.js.gz"></script>
<script type="application/javascript" src="js/zone.js.gz"></script>

but it appears that nginx is serving them as text/plain resulting in browser errors:

SyntaxError: illegal character   shim.min.js.gz:1

Looking at the headers, this is the response:

Content-Encoding:gzip
Content-Type:text/plain

Here is my nginx.conf:

worker_processes 4;

events { worker_connections 1024; }

http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;

gzip on;
gzip_static on;
gzip_disable "msie6";

        }

        server {
              listen 80;
              index index.html
              error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log;
              access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
              root /var/www/public;

              location /api {
                proxy_pass http://node-app;
                proxy_http_version 1.1;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
                proxy_set_header Host $host;
                proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
              }
        }
}

I have gzip_static set to on but it doesn't appear to be working. I am using the nginx docker image:

>nginx:1.10.2-alpine

This image is piled with the gzip static module:

--with-http_gzip_static_module

if I unpress the javascripts and serve them unpressed everything works fine. Is there an issue with the mime types? This works fine with:

<script type="application/javascript" src="js/shim.min.js"></script>
<script type="application/javascript" src="js/zone.js"></script>

Module ngx_http_gzip_static_module:

The ngx_http_gzip_static_module module allows sending prepressed files with the “.gz” filename extension instead of regular files.

gzip_static:

Enables (“on”) or disables (“off”) checking the existence of prepressed files.

We have to have two files for supported pression clients (/some/path/js/filename.js.gz) and not supported (/some/path/js/filename.js).

The files can be pressed using the gzip mand, or any other patible one.

Use in your html:

<script type="application/javascript" src="/js/filename.js"></script>

and nginx will return to the client one of the files.

It is remended that the modification date and time of original and pressed files be the same.
