Hi

Will the nginx memcached module every support retrieving GZIP compressed  
content from memcached? Our application has pages that might hit the  
memcached 1MB per cache item limit in the future so it would be  
(generally)  
convenient to be able to store the content pre-compressed in memcached.

## Thanks for the links. But I was hoping for that feature to be integrated into the Nginx codebase.
