Web Browsers (Chrome and Firefox, to start) are about to start supporting a new Content-Encoding, named Brotli, which offers MUCH improved compression ratios but with slow performance. http://textslashplain.com/2015/09/10/brotli/ As such, we need nginx to support a similar module (e.g. http_brotli_static) for this new content-encoding.
