[issue30576] http.server should support HTTP compression (gzip)

[Pierre Quentel]

Pierre Quentel added the comment:

The compression is done on the fly : if compression criteria are satisfied, the original content is gzipped, either in memory or on a temporary file on disk, depending on the file size.

The gzipped content is not cached, but since the server now supports browser cache, on the next requests for the same file a 304 response will be sent.
