We want to initiate grpc request through openresty, then process the result in openresty and return it，so

Hello,

iam currently trying to find a way to toggle the GZIP compression dynamically inside the access_phase.

As far as I know if statements always run before the lua code so it's not possbile to set a variable like $use_gzip inside a lua block

and the checking it inside the nginx config

if ($use_gzip = true) {
     gzip on;
}

Is the only possible way to achieve this by changing the core GZIP module from nginx or is there any other solution for this.

Thanks in advance

Till
