Compression support in http input/output plugin

[kishoreck]

Summary:

When http is used as a medium of transport for large volumes of data, it will be helpful to have compression support in place. Data compression support in buffers and forward plugin is already made available. It will be a nice to have the compression support in the http plugins as well.

So you want to send large data with gzip to in_http, right?

[kishoreck]

Yup. That's correct.

Merged #2060

[kishoreck]

Awesome. Thanks👍

we are looking forward to have a fluentd release with this in_http compression support. When is the next release schedule?

Hi,

Looking at the Pull Request #2060 , it would appear that this was only added to in_http and not the out_http plugin as well?

It would be most excellent if this could be added in, for http based fluentd to fluend setups.

Looks like it is not added to the out_http.
Could you make a new issue for the feature request?
