Web flasher outputs uncomressed .bin file, that not suitable for wifi reciever upgrade (not enough space) Need to output compressed .gz firmware, like desktop configurator does.

I was just noticing that too. As a workaround I just used Online GZIP de/compressor using Compress / Optimal to gzip it before uploading to an RX.

I believe the issue is that the web flasher doesn't know which firmwares need to be compressed and which do not? If you're flashing over wifi, then all can be compressed, but for UART / Betaflight passthrough they have to be uncompressed. I feel like direct download from the web flasher should always be compressed but I am not fully aware of all the intricacies of why some are compressed and some aren't.

Closing as this is done now.
