[Mod_gzip] simple question

[Matt Manfredonia]

Thanks for the response, I shoulda double checked the docs before
writing...I am still not clear though..

Basically what I want to get is to compress .js files that only have .gz
files to match.  

So from this config:

<IfModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on                   Yes
mod_gzip_can_negotiate        Yes
mod_gzip_static_suffix        .gz
AddEncoding              gzip .gz
mod_gzip_update_static        No
...
mod_gzip_item_include         file       \.html$
mod_gzip_item_exclude         file       \.js
...
</IfModule>

If I am excluding .js extension but set can_negotiate to true, and there are
the following files:
file1.js, file1.js.gz, file2.js

And I request file1.js and file2.js will I get only file1.js.gz as a
compressed file? Or will the exclude cancel that?

Hope that make sense, I am looking to compress a given extension only is
there is a static version. 

Let me know if this is the default case and I am not understanding the docs

Thanks again

>From the excellent documentation at :

http://www.schroepl.net/projekte/mod_gzip/config.htm

# let mod_gzip perform 'partial content negotiation'?
  mod_gzip_can_negotiate        Yes
# (if this option is active and a static file is to be served in com-
#  pressed for, then mod_gzip will look for a static precompressed
#  version of this file with a defined additional extension - see next
#  directive - which would be delivered with priority. This would allow
#  for avoiding to repeatedly compress the same static file and thus
#  saving CPU time.
#  No dynamic caching of this file is provided; currently the user
#  himself is responsible for creating and updating the precompressed
#  file's content.

#  From version 1.3.19.2a mod_gzip automatically recognizes whether
#  a statically precompressed file is older than its uncompressed
#  original and in this case will serve the content of the original
#  file in uncompressed form - as to rather serve correct data than
#  outdated ones ...)

Cheers.
