Nginx is sending proxy saved conent in gzip format

Question

Hi I used config given in this http://www.webtatic.com/blog/2008/04/page-level-caching-with-nginx/ for page level caching of php content the problem is that the cached page is saving in gzip format and it returning same gzip content to browser.

I need the o/p like this "12:15:37 12:15:47" (Its coming for 1st time when the page is not cached) after that if request is resend it is returning ‹������34²26±24à23Œ¸¸�`Î9”��� (gzip response as I tried zcat its returning fine)

Its possible you missed adding the gzip_static option which will serve gzipped content correctly.

However, I have now posted a new article based on Nginx 0.7+ which is better for use as a proxy cache. It doesn't need that option anymore.
