njs: output compression?

[Gunter Grodotzki]

Hi :)

So my njs script is outputting html but I would like that output to be compressed for the client (if the client supports).

So kind hoping that gzip or brotli module would be chained after njs, but seems that is only the case if you do an internalredirect.

Cheers,
Gunter
