Hello @aguaviva and sorry for the time :) Yes it's cool, but just : Could you add the support (the case) of Accept-Encoding header in request before return a compressed file ? Developer.Mozilla: Accept-Encoding You can use self._request.GetHeader('Accept-Encoding') to get values or None.

Supporting "Accept-Encoding" is the wrong idea.

Compression is needed to SAVE SPACE on the microcontroller, so there is NEVER any situation when non-compressed alternative content will get served to the browser. All browsers ALWAYS supports compression, even if it never said "Accept-Encoding" in the first place.

Nobody wants to store a second uncompressed copy of their files on their MCU of course !!!
