[Plugin: WP Super Cache] new htaccess rules result in garbage sent to client

  • I just upgraded to supercache v0.8 and updated my htaccess file to match the rewrite rules specified on the supercache settings page:

    # BEGIN WPSuperCache
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*=.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wordpress/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/wordpress/$1/index.html.gz -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) /wordpress/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/wordpress/$1/index.html.gz [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*=.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wordpress/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/wordpress/$1/index.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) /wordpress/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/wordpress/$1/index.html [L]
</IfModule>
# END WPSuperCache

    All dynamic pages are sent as garbage to the client. If I revert to the previous rules it doesn’t happen:

    # BEGIN WPSuperCache
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*s=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*p=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*attachment_id=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*wp-subscription-manager=.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wordpress/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/wordpress/$1/index.html.gz -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) /wordpress/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/wordpress/$1/index.html.gz [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*s=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*p=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*attachment_id=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*wp-subscription-manager=.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wordpress/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/wordpress/$1/index.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) /wordpress/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/wordpress/$1/index.html [L]
</IfModule>
# END WPSuperCache

    Those rules are basically identical, they would not change anything. All that was added there was to not send super cached files for default permalinks.

    Try turning off the gzip compression option in the super cache config screen. That sometimes results in “garbage” on some servers, but in an unpredictable fashion. Usually happens on IE browsers. Also clear the cache when you turn off gzip. And use the new rules.

    That’s very strange – I turned compression off and it was fine, then I turned compression back on and it was still fine…

    Compression is not one of those things where it breaks every time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.

    If it shows garbage at all, ever, then turn compression off and leave it off.
