Compress Directives

<p>
The compress handler performs on-the-fly compression - it compresses the contents of an HTTP response as it is being sent, if the client indicates itself to be capable of decompressing the response transparently with the use of <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-5.3.4"><code>Accept-Encoding</code></a> header</li>, and if the response is deemed compressible according to the following rules.
</p>
<p>
If <code>x-compress-hint</code> response header does not exist or the value is <code>auto</code>, then whether if the response is considered compressible depends on the <code>is_compressible</code> attribute assigned to the content type (see <a href="configure/file_directives.html#file.mime.addtypes"><code>file.mime.addtypes</code></a>).
If <code>x-compress-hint</code> response header exists and the value is <code>on</code>, the response is always considered to be compressible.
If the value of the response header is set to <code>off</code>, then the response never gets compressed.
</p>

<p>
The following are the  configuration directives recognized by the handler.
</p>

<div id="compress" class="directive-head">
<div class="directive-since">since v2.0</div>
<h3><a href="configure/compress_directives.html#compress"><code>"compress"</code></a></h3>
</div>

<dl class="directive-desc">
<dt>Description:</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Enables on-the-fly compression of HTTP response.

</p>

<p>
If the argument is <code>ON</code>, both <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-alakuijala-brotli/">brotli</a> and <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1952">gzip</a> compression are enabled.
If the argument is <code>OFF</code>, on-the-fly compression is disabled.
If the argument is a sequence, the elements are the list of compression algorithms to be enabled.
If the argument is a mapping, each key specifies the compression algorithm to be enabled, and the values specify the quality of the algorithms.
</p>
<p>
When both brotli and gzip are enabled and if the client supports both, H2O is hard-coded to prefer brotli.
</p>
