Does gzip response work properly?

Maybe I'm wrong, but the server's answer is probably not gzipped. Please look at the headings:

What needs to be set that mORMot used gzip compression?

See on MDN documentation:

1. Small responses are not gzipping because there is no reason to gzip small responses. Large content will be gzipped as expected
2. Accept-Encoding header in response is a mORMot legacy. Just inore it

I use Fiddler this time. It seems, however, that large files are also not compressed, see:

By default server compress responses longer when 1024 bytes - See THttpServerGeneric.RegisterCompress documentation.
In case you respond with files using HTTP_RESP_STATICFILE compression is not applied  - for such cases I'm usually setup compression on nginx level (in case nginx is used as a reverse proxy)
