Is it possible for nginx to decompress FILES on-the-fly (not proxied)?

[J.R.]

Well, figured it out... I swear I tried this yesterday, but maybe I
didn't or my configuration was incomplete...

If you use "gzip_static always;" in combination with the below
statements, it works correctly! It sends the compressed response as
expected, and will decompress on-the-fly when necessary.
