Server NGINX

From this thread on the mailing list
Does Nginx handle Content-Encoding: gzip ? , it appears that nginx
does not support decompressing HTTP request from a client. The thread
however is 2 years old and am wondering if there have been any changes.
I have not found any though in the documentation.

Thanks for any inputs

Module ngx_http_gunzip_module

Sorry, this is about decompressing a compressed response, while you are
asking about decompressing a compressed request body.

I don’t think this is possible currently.

But why not let your application handle the decompression?
