[GitHub] [trafficserver] heavygale opened a new issue #8720: Expected behaviour of the Compress Plugin
heavygale opened a new issue #8720:
URL: https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/issues/8720
According to our understanding of the [documentation](https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/8.1.x/admin-guide/plugins/compress.en.html), the compress plugin should deliver requests for the content types configured as compressible to browsers that send the corresponding request header (Accept-Encoding: gzip) in compressed form without exception.
Using the access.log, we were able to determine that this is not the case, and that individual resources are delivered uncompressed. For this evaluation, we added the following fields to the log format and were able to determine that about 3% of requests to URLs ending in .js are currently delivered uncompressed to browsers that accept gzip:
`%<{Accept-Encoding}cqh> %<{Content-Encoding}psh> %<{Content-Type}psh>`
According to our compress.config all .js resources should be compressed:
```
compressible-content-type application/javascript*
compressible-content-type application/x-javascript*
compressible-content-type application/json*
```
We also noticed that some resources are sent to the requesting browser sometimes compressed and sometimes uncompressed.
=> What is the expected behavior for the compress plugin? Should all compressible resources be delivered only in compressed form if the compression is accepted by the browser? Or does the plugin act according to the best effort principle, so that it is to be expected that individual resources are delivered uncompressed?
We are currently using version 8.1.3 of Apache Traffic Server on RHEL 7.9.

The following data were collected by looking at the access.log for about 30 minutes (~500k requests) and filtering for vendor.js, a file that was delivered both compressed and uncompressed during this time period:
<br>
**uncompressed**: grep '\\[gzip|-'
```
37 TCP_REFRESH_MISS/200 http://❎❎❎:80/❎❎❎/vendor.js
```

The plugin should compress if the client is able to accept the type of encoding. Can you post an example log line? Please remove the client IP from the log.
