HTTP request compression

by

It appears [Content-Encoding] is not a valid request header.

That is actually not quite true. As per RFC 2616, sec 14.11, Content-Encoding is an entity header which means it can be applied on the entities of both, http responses and requests. Through the powers of multipart MIME messages, even selected parts of a request (or response) can be compressed.

However, webserver support for compressed request bodies is rather slim. Apache supports it to a degree via the mod_deflate module. It’s not entirely clear to me if nginx can handle compressed requests.
