This is the introduction of "minsize-req" and "minsize-res".
These two options allow you to set the minimum payload size required for
compression to be applied.
This helps save CPU on both server and client sides when the payload does
not need to be compressed.
Add code so that compression can be used for requests as well.
New compression keywords are introduced :
"direction" that specifies what we want to compress. Valid values are
"request", "response", or "both".
"type-req" and "type-res" define content-type to be compressed for
requests and responses, respectively. "type" is kept as an alias for
"type-res" for backward compatibilty.
"algo-req" specifies the compression algorithm to be used for requests.
Only one algorithm can be provided.
"algo-res" provides the list of algorithm that can be used to compress
responses. "algo" is kept as an alias for "algo-res" for backward
compatibility.
Make provision for being able to store both compression algorithms and
content-types to compress for both requests and responses. For now only
the responses one are used.
Make provision for storing the compression algorithm and the compression
context twice, one for requests, and the other for responses. Only the
response ones are used for now.
Now that SLZ is merged, let's update the makefile and compression
files to use it. As a result, SLZ_INC and SLZ_LIB are neither defined
nor used anymore.
USE_SLZ is enabled by default ("USE_SLZ=default") and can be disabled
by passing "USE_SLZ=" or by enabling USE_ZLIB=1.
The doc was updated to reflect the changes.
