Team,
I'm trying to enable GZIP compression in my bluemix php application, but it doesn't seem to work at all.
I've tried both options from this page: https://varvy.com/pagespeed/enable-compression.html and my application http://arkdev.mybluemix.net isn't enabling it. At least, I cannot see in the headers, neither GZIP compression test tools can see it.
This is my current code in htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.php [NC,L]
