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 )
This means you should use something such as mod deflate: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html
- 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....
This is handled transparently by negotiation between the browser and the server. Your end user does not have to do anything - the browser unzips before rendering.
hope this helps, James
