support for brotli compression #2092

Open Prithvirajbilla opened 6 years ago

Prithvirajbilla commented 6 years ago

Brotli is a better standard for compression than gzip. All major browsers have support for it.

I think it would be awesome if akka-http has first class support for brotli along side with gzip.

Let me know what you folks think about this.

We won't be working on it in the foreseeable future. If you'd like to contribute feel free to hack on it.

@Prithvirajbilla have you taken a shot?

Prithvirajbilla commented 4 years ago

@ggPeti No I didn't get a chance to do this.
