Description Brion Vibber 2014-02-16 18:56:34 UTC
See also bug 54291 for related config for upload.wikimedia.org.

We're using more and more little SVG files for style effects and icons used in MediaWiki client-side code; when not directly embedded in CSS these get loaded as static files off of bits.wikimedia.org and by default are not compressed, for example http://bits.wikimedia.org/static-1.23wmf13/extensions/CirrusSearch/cirrus-beta.svg on the beta features page.

While these are often not huge, they do compress very well (as XML source) and it'd be nice to auto-compress them on the wire.
