Node.js: Gzip compression?

Question

Am I wrong in finding that Node.js does no gzip compression and there are no modules out there to perform gzip compression? How can anyone use a web server that has no compr

Answer 1

It's been a few good days with node, and you're right to say that you can't create a webserver without gzip.

There are quite a lot options given on the modules page on the Node.js Wiki. I tried out most of them, but this is the one which I'm finally using -

v1.0 is also out and it has been quite stable so far.
