Can you elaborate? BTW, the "deflate" format is different from the
"gzip" format. You should be careful here.
Also, it's a good idea to always disable compressing on the backend
and rely on nginx to do the gzip compressing for you (if asked by the
client).

I'm not sure if that's good idea. Because there's various compressing
methods like "gzip" and "deflate", and exhausting that list is too
much work.
Disable compressing on the backend server via the config line
proxy_pass_request_headers off;
is the most elegant solution.

That may be an option :)
