[PATCH] HTTP/2: HPACK Huffman encoding

[Vlad Krasnov]

I will remove the tabs, not sure how they got there.

Regarding the minimal compression field: encoding 4 bytes yields real benefits. Values like “gzip”  or “link” get one byte shoved off, which makes it 25% smaller and it adds up.
Less than 4 bytes is probably useless,  but then again those are not common, and shouldn’t be a performance issue.
