http://nginx.org/r/gzip_static

  gzip_static on;

curl -i --compressed http://localhost/file.html

will get file.html.gz if it exists, with "Content-Encoding: gzip";
or file.html if that exists, or 404.

Check the "bytes sent" field in your access_log to see which was
sent. Omit the "--compressed" in the curl command to see the difference.
