Add: compress responses in exec_gmp_get with Brotli #158

Closed mattmundell closed 10 months ago

mattmundell commented 11 months ago

What

In exec_gmp_get, compress responses with Brotli.

This feature is only used if libbrotli is found at build time.

Why

Speeds up data transfer by reducing size of transfer.

Results in smaller sizes than deflate. For example one cmd=edit_config_family request of 1.52MB:

br  73.04kB
de 107.38kB
