gzipping a minified .js file

I've minified a .js file, and everything is just fine. But, when I gzip, the browser no longer executes the file. What am I doing wrong? Here's the gzip command:

> gzip test.js

Which results 开发者_JAVA技巧in a regular gzip file called test.js.gz. Do I need to include something in the .js, or pass an added argument to gzip so the browser interprets the file correctly? I tested this with both Chrome and FF.

Thank you advance!

This isn't a client side problem.

Your web server has to be configured to recognise the gzipped file, and send the appropriate Content-Encoding: gzip header to tell the browser to expect gzipped data.
