    <p>When I use my Rails app to directly serve my assets through Heroku's Cedar stack (ie. NOT through a CDN) they get gzip'd automatically. (See my <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8781039/heroku-cedar-static-assets-rails-3-0-x">previous question</a> on why I'm confused about this)</p> <p>Now, I'm trying to set up Cloudfront to serve these assets instead, and ideally, I'd like for them to be gzip'd as well. From what I've read, I thought that Cloudfront would pass on the <code>Accept</code> headers to my app, so they should be served up gzip'd if supported (just as they are when you make a direct request to the asset on heroku). But this isn't the case. The asset headers end up looking like this:</p> <pre><code>Age:510 Connection:keep-alive Content-Length:178045 Content-Type:text/css Date:Sun, 08 Jan 2012 18:55:13 GMT Last-Modified:Sun, 08 Jan 2012 18:42:34 GMT Server:nginx/0.7.67 Via:1.1 varnish, 1.0 7a0b4b3db0cc0d369fe1d6981bfb646a.cloudfront.net:11180 (CloudFront), 1.0 6af08f4042ec142b4b760ca4cd62041d.cloudfront.net:11180 (CloudFront) X-Amz-Cf-Id:2b205edf4e9ef000a31a0208ca68f4e15b746eb430cde2ba5cc4b7dff4ba41a76c24f43cf498be02,8d5863a42eea452f86831a02f3eb648b26fe07013b08b95950f15ef8ba275822e1eb3b7ed2550d01 X-Cache:Hit from cloudfront X-Varnish:2130919357 </code></pre> <p>There's no mention of encoding here, and when I view the plain file, it's not gzip'd. So I'm wondering what I need to do here to get Cloudfront to request a gzip'd version of the asset from my app so that it can serve this to the client.</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5442011/serving-gzipped-css-and-javascript-from-amazon-cloudfront">This post</a> says you need to manually gzip and upload the file, but I don't see why that should be necessary. For one, it's annoying, and two, wouldn't it request the file the same as my browser directly? So why wouldn't it just serve up the gzip'd file as it does by default in my app?</p> <p>Any tips on getting gzip'ng working properly would be great. I'd like to not have to manually gzip my files and upload them if possible.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
