Description

Traffic Server needs a plugin which will allow administrators (of reverse proxies, chiefly) to configure a single point at which content compression happens, thereby reducing the pressure on the back-ends even more

Gzipped content SHOULD be cachable.

Furthermore it MUST conform to RFC 2616, as well as the upcoming httpbis: see e.g.: http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-httpbis-p3-payload-14.txt
