Description
NGINX module that parses, normalizes, and manages the Accept-Encoding headers from client requests. It ensures consistent handling of compression algorithms by standardizing the Accept-Encoding values, reducing cache variant explosion and improving vary cache performance. This is essential for proxy caching with Vary: Accept-Encoding to prevent creating multiple cache entries for equivalent compression preferences like "gzip, br" vs "br, gzip". To enable this module after installation, add the following to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and reload NGINX: load_module modules/ngx_http_compression_normalize_module.so; Alternatively, enable all installed modules by adding this line to the top of /etc/nginx/nginx.conf: include /usr/share/nginx/modules/*.conf;
Compatible with all RHEL-based distributions, including CentOS, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, etc.
