Brotli on Nginx bug

    I tried Brotli on my Nginx, installed successfully, I tried to enable it on W3TC, it works (despite have bug, but not this one that I reported, because I want to reconfirm it) and sending Brotli encoded files (br), now I tried to disable Brotli (for all files), restarting Nginx, the result is W3TC still creating Brotli files on minified cache. I tried to remove Brotli modules from main nginx.conf, W3TC still creating Brotli because it still detect PHP extension for Brotli.

    I haven’t tried to disable PHP Brotli extension, because it should be enough to stop Brotli creation from W3TC dashboard.

    Is there plan to fix this soon?

    Thanks

    I just tried to disable Brotli PHP extension, once it’s disabled, W3TC stop creating Brotli minified files. So Brotli option for CS/JSS on W3TC dashboard not working.

    Hello @muchmuch11

    I’ve spoken with the team and tested this. It’s a way how third-party minify library works. When it’s able to compress using method browser asks to – it compresses. So disabling the Brotli PHP extension is the only way to stop that.
    Thank you!
