Is there a way to change the handler for compression from gzip to lzf in nginx ?

Actual config:

    gzip  on;
    gzip_disable "msie6";
    gzip_vary on;
    gzip_proxied any;
    gzip_comp_level 6;
    gzip_buffers 16 8k;
    gzip_min_length     1024;
    gzip_http_version 1.1;
    gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;

can be it translated to ?

lzf on;

  • What's the reason to do so? Which browser do support lzf? – Alexey Ten Jun 20 '14 at 12:42
  • ah, this is a good question, the idea is that lzf is better than gzip. – Dario Jun 20 '14 at 13:55
  • Better in what criteria? And does it matter in real life? – Alexey Ten Jun 20 '14 at 14:03
  • LZF is better in compression/uncompression speed, i.e. trade-off between bit lower compression, and much faster compression (5-10x), uncompression (2x-3x). Whether it is better for any given scenario depends on which one you want to conserve more, bandwidth (network, I/O), or CPU. – StaxMan Aug 16 '14 at 21:16
