Enable HTTP Compression #66

Closed jreadey closed 4 years ago

jreadey commented 4 years ago

Many dataset hyperslab and point selections would benefit from using HTTP Compression (c.f. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_compression). For example, if 1024x1024 dataset is mostly zero's, reading the entire dataset would need to transmit relatively few bytes if the response is compressed compared to 10241024element_size for the uncompressed response.
