How to add Content-Encoding:gzip to NGINX for a specific directory?

Question

Nginx

I have a lot of html files in the directory and its subdirectories, they are already in gzip, I only need to send them via https (in gzip). How in nginx to make sure that for the desired directory it appends the Content-Encoding:gzip header?

Answer 1

More or less like this

location /dir1 {
    location /dir1/dir2 {
        gzip on;
        add_header ....
    }
    ....
}
