12 Chapter 3. Configuration
• The TUX compression feature is on in /etc/sysctl.conf.
• The client has explicitly stated to support gzip encoding.
• The original file exists, is a regular file, and has the proper permissions.
• The .gz file exists, is a regular file, and has the proper permissions.
• The .gz file is newer than or has the same-date as the original file.
