Accepting gzip requests

Question

PHP

Good afternoon!

It is known that nginx can compress the response for transmission to the client.
But I could not find information about the reverse situation - receiving a compressed request.

The problem is this: mobile clients transmit a lot of data, and it would be desirable before the gzip request reached the php backend, it was unzipped and transferred already in its pure form.

Answer 1

Google is the head of everything

Answer 2

As far as I know, NGINX does not unpack requests with Content-Encoding: gzip ...
Apache can do this with mod_deflate, but nginx does not. By the way, a good idea for writing a module. I guess it won't be too complicated.
