Brotli Support

See original GitHub issue

Just curious if there are plans to add support for brotli compression?

Saw the implementation in ktor-server/ktor-server-core/src/io/ktor/features/Compression.kt for Gzip and Deflate. Wanted my application to respond with a brotli compressed js script (as it is 30% smaller than the gzip version) but failed to overwrite the Content-Encoding in the response header with br.

Miserable attempt: (the file was already compressed outside of ktor)

get("/bundle.min.js") {
   // attempt 1
    call.respondFile(File("public/js/bundle.min.js.br"), {
        setProperty(AttributeKey("Content-Type"), "application/octet-stream")
        setProperty(AttributeKey("Content-Encoding"), "br")
        finish()
    })
   // attempt 2 bout = ByteArrayOutputStream
    call.respondWrite(ContentType.Application.OctetStream, HttpStatusCode.OK, { bout })
}

@soywiz FYI there is extension point for implementing custom content encodings:
