> this is a more battle hardened version of the deflate compressor plugin we use in production for a few months now
> // WHAT THIS PLUGIN DOES:
> // in spite of its name, it compresses responses to the raw deflate format.
> // it also normalizes the accept-encoding header from user agent requests 
> // to either deflate or nothing. it compresses responses from origins only,
> // though it can be modified easily to also compress contents from cache.
> //
> // MAJOR ISSUES:
> // - there is an issue with *some* origins that send connection:close. 
> //   the plugin will not execute in that situation as a temporary fix.
> // - the workings of this plugin support our use case, but probably is not 
> //   on size fits all. it shouldnt be too hard to adjust it to your own needs though.
