394	gzip module doesn't handle all certain HTTP verbs/statuses	Andrea Mayer		"I use nginx as a proxy for a CardDAV server. For CardDAV, HTTP verbs like PROPFIND and REPORT are used and these verbs often return large textual content (text/vcard, text/xml) so compression would be very useful (especially when the DAV collections are synced with a mobile device).

However, HTTP responses from the CardDAV server are only gzip-ed when they have been requested using GET. I thinks this could have two reasons:
* the gzip module restricts the HTTP verbs and doesn't work then using PROPFIND or REPORT, or/and
* the gzip module restricts the HTTP status codes ands doesn't compress responses with the 207 Multi-Status.

I think this is not correct behaviour because every HTTP response entity may and should be compressed when the matching Accept-Encoding was set by the client (and the Content-Type in the server config is correct).

Steps to reproduce:
* Set up a CalDAV/CardDAV server and access it via nginx proxy.
* In nginx, set up gzip compression for proxy requests and the appropriate content types.
* Send a GET request with Accept-Encoding: gzip -> the 200 response is gzip-ed
* Send a PROPFIND request with Accept-Encoding: gzip -> the 207 response is *not* gzip-ed

Expected result:
All responses for all requests should be gzip-ed."	enhancement	reopened	minor		nginx-module			gzip		FreeBSD my.server 8.4-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE-p1 #0: Fri Jun 28 03:50:33 UTC 2013     root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64	"nginx version: nginx/1.4.2
