Handling gzipped requests

uppal.samar

Hi,

Can openresty handle gzipped http requests? I can't seem to find a library equivalent to mod_deflate like apache has which decompresses gzipped content.

Thanks,

Samar

See http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gunzip_module.html

There're also some 3rd-party zlib Lua binding libraries you may find
useful in certain contexts.

If you're talking about passing back a response you pulled from a backend, just add the module agentzh pointed out and stick

gunzip on;

into your configuration file.
