No support for Brotli Compression?

[JensKirk]

Hi :-)

The linkchecker is not supporting the new Brotli Compression from Google and therefor no sites running Brotli compression (using SSL) is working.

You can test this on: https://www.qliving.com

Google Chrome and other browsers support Brotli Compression to speed up the loading of a site but LinkChecker does not.

This would only be a problem if Brotli was the only compression supported by the webserver I think.

But that website also accepts gzip compression: curl -sH 'Accept-encoding: gzip' https://www.qliving.com | gunzip - and no compression: curl -sH 'Accept-encoding: ' https://www.qliving.com

I am not sure which "Accept-encoding" header linkchecker uses, but it seems to work fine with https://www.qliving.com
