gzip - nginx + gzip_static_module -

scenario: have 2 files "style.css" , "style.css.gz". enabled modules gzip_static , gzip. works properly, nginx serve compressed "style.css.gz". both files have same timestamp. have cronjob creates pre-compressed files of file * .css , runs every 2 hours.

    gzip on;     gunzip on;     gzip_vary on;     gzip_static always;             gzip_disable "msie6";     gzip_proxied any;     gzip_comp_level 4;     gzip_buffers 32 8k;     gzip_http_version 1.1;     gzip_min_length 256;     gzip_types                             text/cache-manifest             text/xml             text/css             text/plain             ........... 

question: if edit "style.css" , change few css rules, possible serve edited "style.css" instead of "style.css.gz"? (based on timestamp or smthing that) or pre-compress new "style.css.gz" after finish editing "style.css"? possible operate using nginx? or best solution?

thanks

i have cronjob creates pre-compressed files of file * .css , runs every 2 hours.

you can run script manually after have made edit/changes css file.

it possible operate using nginx? or best solution?

alternatively, solution can think of (which how roll) nginx can serve , gzip compress files on fly. make sure disable use of precompressed files ngx_http_gzip_static_module otherwise nginx use precompressed files instead.

gzip_static off; 

enables (“on”) or disables (“off”) checking existence of precompressed files.
