+ Default: on
+
+ Enable gzip support. When enabled Varnish will compress
+ uncompressed objects before they are stored in the cache. If a
+ client does not support gzip encoding Varnish will uncompress
+ compressed objects on demand.
+ Varnish will also rewrite the Accept-Encoding header of clients indicating support for gzip to:
+
+ Accept-Encoding: gzip
+
+ Clients that do not support gzip will have their Accept-Encoding
+ header removed. For more information no how gzip is implemted
+ please see the chapter on gzip in the Varnish reference.
