I was trying to set up a Spaces CDN for my Spaces bucket and after some headache regarding the subdirectory path, SSL, and precompile, I got it working, sort of. All the assets load correctly but nothing is executing. Based on [Digitalocean block storage VS amazon S3 - #5 by md-misko](https://meta.discourse.org/t/digitalocean-block-storage-vs-amazon-s3/158290/5), it seems like the `content-encoding` header is stripped, which is breaking things.

Can anyone confirm if this is the source of the problem and that it remains an open bug with DO?  
Has anyone found a workaround to this? A free CDN would be a massive cost savings.

That’s right. You need to use a different CDN.

Cool, thank you!

Personally, I think I would love to see additional details in the [Configure an S3 compatible object storage provider for uploads](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-object-storage-for-uploads-s3-clones/148916/1) post, maybe even a DO open issue, so that I could confirm the issue and that it was still up to date info.

Maybe that’s just the part of me that wants to confirm everything myself 🙂

Hiya! 👋

The doc at [Configure an S3 compatible object storage provider for uploads](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-object-storage-for-uploads-s3-clones/148916) is a wiki. We are collaboratively documenting how various CDNs work. I don’t use DigitalOcean’s object storage, so I can’t provide anymore details. Perhaps you could? 🙂

That’s a great suggestion, I like to provide a link to allow users of a service to lend their voice to prioritize fixes. I did some searching and couldn’t find a specific issue about DO’s CDN, but I found several spread all over the place. 🤔 Which one do we link to? As a user of the service, our community relies on contributors like you to check out those details. 👍

Oh didn’t realize it was a wiki.

I’m a novice with sysadmin/cloud stuff, so hopefully someone can double check me before I make any edits.

These are the missing headers I see in non-CDN /assets but missing in CDN /assets:

- content-encoding
- expires (though there’s x-amz-expiration)
- server
- X-Firefox-Spdy

When I compare to [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org)’s cloudfront CDN /assets headers, they’re missing expires (and x-amz-expiration), but have all the other headers compared to non-CDN /assets.

`content-encoding` seems like the most likely cause of the problem, which lines up with [Digitalocean block storage VS amazon S3 - #5 by md-misko](https://meta.discourse.org/t/digitalocean-block-storage-vs-amazon-s3/158290/5).

I also found two open DO community questions, not sure if they’re 100% the same root cause. Hopefully someone can double check me
