Does anyone know if this works when using Nginx as a proxy? That would be pretty killer if so.

Yup, in fact, that's exactly how ZippyKid integration is setup: https://www.zippykid.com/2013/04/23/partnership-with-google-...

It doesn't matter if the files are local or remote, ngx_pagespeed can fetch from both. Some docs on related functionality: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/mod_pagespeed/domai...

Thanks for the link. I for one will be implementing this then! Probably start testing tonight actually (I'm excited).

Druiid, do you mind testing our instructions here? http://github.com/zippykid/nginx/ ?

I kept tripping up on the instructions, such as the git clone for your repo should be the anon one (git://) and final commands (debuild -us -uc) kept telling me that there were no upstream git.

I tried the scripts verbatim on a fresh Ubuntu 13.04 VM (64bit).

edit: Your deb link at the end of the readme is broken as well.

Thanks Josh, I'll update them tomorrow/saturday. Did you create an issue by any chance?

You've disabled issues so I cannot add one.

Sure, I'll take a look at it. Might be able to send you guys some rpm instructions as well. We are a RH/CentOS shop.

Edit: Looking over your build files. I think I'm going to go ahead and create (or modify existing) spec files and throw together a github for an nginx RH tree. If anyone is interested in it when done, shoot me an e-mail through profile.

Can't edit again for some reason.. so here goes for anyone that is interested. Included modified spec file and built-RPMS:

Pretty sure github is going to yell at me about the binary files :P

I am currently using nginx as a proxy to Apache+mod_wsgi. nginx serves the static files too. Do you know whether I should install this module for nginx or for Apache or both?

It does; that's definitely one of the intended uses.
