lighttpd 1.4.59-2
Support for brotli compression in mod_deflate was added in version 1.4.56. The configure flag is --with-brotli. Since brotli offers a good improvement over gzip and has been supported by the major browsers for years, I think it's worth considering enabling it. |

@pierre lighttpd mod_deflate is the only part of lighttpd which
may depend on brotli. Can this be packaged separately as
lighttpd-mod_deflate (or something similar)?
I have enabled brotli support. As it is a core library required by
a lot of packages (e.g. curl and therefore pacman) spliut this
dependecy is of no benefit.
