Compression Browser Exception Rule-Lists Menu
This is a list of compression exception rules based on the user agent (browser type) and/or content-type (file type). These rules skip the compression of certain objects that create issues when uncompressed or that require too many resources with little benefit (for example, PDFs and PPT folders). Browser exception rules are evaluated after the URL exception rules are evaluated, so they are more general than the URL exceptions.
The rule list behavior (first match and exit) lets you define exceptions within exceptions by defining low-level rules first, and more general rules after them.
The predefined browser exception rule list is a list of rules that address known issues in commonly used browsers which cause them to mishandle specific types of compressed content. The Predefined Browser Limitation Rule-List cannot be modified or deleted. To customize it, you must first copy the rule list to a new browser exception rule list. This exception list is evaluated last, after the URL exception and browser exception lists, and therefore can be overridden by both the user-defined browser exception rule list and the URL rule list.
If you want to create a new browser exceptions rule list by copying the predefined browser exceptions rule list, enter predefined.
