Facebook stopped GZIPing it's JavaScript SDK

5 points by rdgthree ↗ HN
https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js is coming across without GZIP at the full nearly 200KB.

Double checked with https://checkgzipcompression.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.facebook.net%2Fen_US%2Fsdk.js

Surely something is wrong? Some of their other libraries are coming across fully uncompressed as well.

I just noticed this issue yesterday as well.
Is that a CDN though? or do they expect the developer to download and serve it themselves?
