Hi,
Can someone help me understand the automagic (un)zipping in Galaxy?
In my universe_wsgi.ini there an option to enable gzip compression like this:
# ---- HTTP gzip compression ---- # If planning to run Galaxy as a production service, we recommend running Galaxy # through a proxy and enabling gzip compression there (instructions at # http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Config/ProductionServer ) # but you may also turn on Paste's built-in gzip compressor by uncommenting the following lines # and also the 'filter-with = gzip' line under [app:main]. This will reduce network traffic # and should speed up the interface, especially the visualization module. # [filter:gzip] use = egg:Paste#gzip ... filter-with = gzip
1. I cannot find instructions on how to enable gzip compression in Apache at http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Config/ProductionServer, but I have enabled "Paste's built-in gzip compressor" and that does not generate errors, so I guess it works. 2. This is not the part that is responsible for automatically detecting *.gz files and unzipping them, or is it? Enabling or disabling the code above does not affect automagic unzipping of uploaded *.gz, which works for me with or without the code above. 2. Can I make automagic unzipping also work for *.zip files? Personally I prefer gzip, but many people in our lab are more familiar with things like winzip....
Cheers,
Pi
