Module ngx_http_gunzip_module
Example Configuration Directives gunzip gunzip_buffers |
The ngx_http_gunzip_module
module is a filter that
decompresses responses with “Content-Encoding: gzip
”
for clients that do not support “gzip” encoding method.
The module will be useful when it is desirable to store
data compressed to save space and reduce I/O costs.
This module is not built by default, it should be enabled with the
--with-http_gunzip_module
configuration parameter.
