刚刚给博客加了一个500px相册插件，lightbox引入了很多js文件和css文件，页面一下子看起来非常臃肿，所以还是把Gzip打开了。
环境：Debian 6
1、Vim打开Nginx配置文件
vim /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
2、找到如下一段，进行修改
gzip on;
gzip_min_length 1k;
gzip_buffers 4 16k;
#gzip_http_version 1.0;
gzip_comp_level 2;
gzip_types text/plain application/x-javascript text/css application/xml text/javascript application/x-httpd-php image/jpeg image/gif image/png;
gzip_vary off;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.";
3、解释一下
第1行：开启Gzip
第2行：不压缩临界值，大于1K的才压缩，一般不用改
第3行：buffer，就是，嗯，算了不解释了，不用改
第4行：用了反向代理的话，末端通信是HTTP/1.0，有需求的应该也不用看我这科普文了；有这句的话注释了就行了，默认是HTTP/1.1
第5行：压缩级别，1-10，数字越大压缩的越好，时间也越长，看心情随便改吧
第6行：进行压缩的文件类型，缺啥补啥就行了，JavaScript有两种写法，最好都写上吧，总有人抱怨js文件没有压缩，其实多写一种格式就行了
第7行：跟Squid等缓存服务有关，on的话会在Header里增加"Vary: Accept-Encoding"，我不需要这玩意，自己对照情况看着办吧
第8行：IE6对Gzip不怎么友好，不给它Gzip了
4、:wq保存退出，重新加载Nginx
/usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx -s reload
5、用curl测试Gzip是否成功开启
curl -I -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate" "http://www.slyar.com/blog/"
