Given that the original *and* rewritten URL both end with a file extension, shouldn't the SetEnvIf directive be effective in either case? The original URLs take the following format: https://localhost/public/download/My%20Installer.zip The following mod_rewrite rules are applied: # Rewrite URIs of the form 'index.php?q=x' (except for real files/directories): RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA] (Note that these download files are NOT real files; they are passed to the browser via PHP script; so, the mod_rewrite rules are applied.) The resultant URLs take the following format: https://localhost/public/index.php?q=download/My%20Installer.zip After the rewriting is done, the relevant Apache server environment variables look like this: 'REQUEST_METHOD' => string 'GET' (length=3) 'QUERY_STRING' => string 'q=download/My Installer.zip' (length=68) 'REQUEST_URI' => string '/public/download/My%20Installer.zip' (length=87) 'SCRIPT_NAME' => string '/public/index.php' (length=20) 'PHP_SELF' => string '/public/index.php' (length=20) Given the above, shouldn't this rule be effective? # Don't compress images (or other files that are already compressed) SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \ \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png|zip|7z|rar|sit?x|mp3|flac|ogg|pdf)$ no-gzip dont-vary > Before you chase that, you can just log it the internal var with > %{no-gzip}e and %{REDIRECT_no-gzip}e Forgive me for being dense here, but do you mind restating this last bit? It seems like there's a typo. Are you suggesting that I should try logging the values for %{no-gzip}e and %{REDIRECT_no-gzip}e before I bother with anything else?
