issue2551147 - Enable compression of http responses in roundup.
gzip, (brotli/zstd with optional packages) on the fly
compression/content-encoding enabled by default. Can serve
pre-compressed static assets as well if the client can accept it.
Docs updated.
Also added example nginx config to installation.txt. The config allows
nginx to compress data on the fly. If the config is used, dynamic
compression in roundup can be disabled.
Dedicating this checkin to my father Paul Hector Rouillard 1930-2021.
I did much of the development in this changeset while sitting with him
as he slept/transitioned. Without his encouragement and example, my
desire to learn would not be what it is and I wouldn't be half the
person I am.
