Brotli Caching

Brotli is a lossless data compression algorithm. Brotli compression is an alternative to gzip and can provide better overall compression.

CacheFly provides caching support for Brotli compressed objects from the origin (when the origin supports Brotli compression). Compressed responses are cached separately from noncompressed.
