<div>I dont have much idea abt proxies. So please clear the scene for me.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The 2 options that you provided:</div>
<div>>>1) default: responses to the proxied requests are not compressed at all:<br>>> gzip_proxied off;</div>
<div>It is the safe option, right. If the user is behind a proxy dont use gzip. Seems fair enough.<br><br>>>2) to allow to cache correctly compressed responses (modern Squids):<br>>> gzip_proxied on;<br>>> gzip_vary on;<br>
Now will this work on every condition for all users no matter how their proxy has been configured.</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
