Compression of js files

[athanasiusrc]

I turned compression on (FR_2.0.3) and set it to ignore requests that
match the rules which I think should result in compressing everything.
However, according to YSlow, the .js files aren't being compressed. Am
I doing something wrong?

JS files aren't served by CF (normally), so they're not passed to CF. If
they're not passed to CF, then FusionReactor cannot process them. Look in
your web server configuration for how it's processing CF and JS files. If
it's not handing JS files to CF, then you can't compress them with FR (but
you can with your web server). My sense is that a primary use of the FR
compression is for when one for some reason cannot configure their web
server to do compression (perhaps are not allowed to change it but can
configure FR). Anyone have a better thought?

Thanks! I'll use the IIS compression for javascript files.
