G-WAN trouble when minifying Javascript

I'm testing this web server, but i got stuck with a little problem.

The thing is that when I use a library framework like ExtJS 4.2.1, in the ext-all-dev.js file there are some regexp that the compressor(It's gzip, right?) doesn't compress properly, for example, in the lines: 

9906    history = [],
9907    slashDotSlashRe = /\/\.\//g,
9908    dotRe = /\./g,

the compressor does this:

3618    history=[],
3619    slashDotSlashRe=/\/\.\dotRe=/\./g,

Is it maybe a bug of G-WAN? Do you guys have any solution?

By the way, when I use gzip with nginx, it doesn't give me any problem.

Thanks for the help ^^.

Solution

  • It looks like a javascript minification error rather than gzip? In daemon mode (gwan -d), G-WAN minifies javascript and html on the fly, but this feature is known to be buggy in the latest public release. You probably can contact Pierre for a newer non-public version of G-WAN.

    In the mean time, you can test your code by running G-WAN without -d.
