Thanks. I'm using Rackspace Cloud Files for a site of mine and it seems you cannot force a Content-Encoding: gzip header on files served via the CDN. Without this header, the user's browser won't know to unzip files on receipt. Leaves me wondering whether I'm better off serving JS and CSS without a CDN but gzipped or with a CDN un-gzipped? Nice overview Mike. Thanks.
