title: How to force Apache to use manually pre-compressed gz file of CSS and JS files?
body: <p>I have simple question. I have webdirectory <code>/css</code> and inside is file <code>style.css</code>. I have manually gzipped this file and saved it as <code>style.css.gz</code>. I want to save CPU cycles to not have CSS file compressed at each request. How do I configure Apache to look for this <code>.gz</code> file and serve it instead of compressing <code>.css</code> file over and over again ?</p>
  
  <p>Note: I don't want Apache to create <code>.gz</code> file itself. In my scenario I have to create <code>.css.gz</code> file manually - using PHP on specific requests.</p>
