====== Disable gzip Compression at the Virtual Host Level ======
Gzip compression can normally be [[litespeed_wiki:config:gzip-compression|enabled/disabled from the server level]]. However sometimes you may have to control the gzip compression for a particular virtual host through ''.htaccess'' without affecting the global settings. There are two ways to turn off gzip dynamically:

  - a rewrite rule
  - ''SetEnv''/''SetEnvIf''
  
The latter is a better choice, as it won't be affected by other rewrite rules.

===== Use a Rewrite Rule in .htaccess =====
You can place the following in ''.htaccess'':
  RewriteRule . - [E=no-gzip:1]
  
Be aware that other rewrite rules may affect it. 

===== Use SetEnv/SetEnvIf in .htaccess =====
You can place the following in ''.htaccess'':
  SetEnv no-gzip 1
