Yes, that is how I had it configured before patching, all content
between nginx and the upstream servers was uncompressed using the
directive you mentioned, but the goal was to have the data between the
two servers compressed to reduce network traffic.

Yes, I also read your comments from 2013, but after looking over the
current gunzip module code, I can't find any flag that another module
could set to force decompression? Or did I miss it buried somewhere?

Thanks for the quick response!
