I haven't used their service, but SimpleCDN advertises their support for gzip right on the front page, in big letters. That might be a good alternate option to consider, if you have a bunch of text files that need CDN hosting.
- JangoSteve 16y agoAwesome, thanks! I actually meant to link to a couple CDNs that support it, but completely forgot to add those links to the article. The problem with most of the CDNs that support gzipping are that they are much more expensive than Amazon CloudFront, and usually not pay-as-you-go. For instance, according to SimpleCDN's pricing page, the lowest tier for HotCache (their service that supports gzipping) is $500/mo. It's cheaper than cloudfront at the large scales it's meant for, but for most people it's overkill and too expensive.
