Introduction

This project consists of BrotliMiddleware which works the same as Django GZipMiddleware (Docs/Source). BrotliMiddleware will compress content of HTTP response using brotli algorithm (Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in RFC 7932_).

In November 2016 is brotli supported by Firefox, Chrome, Android Browser and Opera (detailed stats on caniuse_). Brotli is applied only when client has sent Accept-Encoding header containing br.
