> Compression helps

It's generally unwise to use compression for encrypted transport such as TLS or HTTP/S.

Good point, thank you.

You’re right—no compression over TLS by default. If I add deflate support later it will be opt-in and disabled when the connection is encrypted.

Appreciate the insights!
