I was investigating web builds of games and noticed some files have `content-encoding: gzip` and others don't. From the above, it appears only some files are white-listed. Is this documented somewhere?

Edit: ok found docs here https://itch.io/docs/creators/html5#compression

Curious, in the same page there is a note about some specific game engines web builds, what is needed to add a new engine there in the detection?

It would be nice to compress .ags files in the server so they could benefit from getting the grip content encoding.

Generally we would recommend that the engine should produce a gzipped binary file ahead of time. We don’t do any processing on the files. Only plain text files are eligible for automatic gzip compression via the CDN.

I tried to contact support about adding a new platform to the HTML5 detection, but haven't got an answer yet. It's alright if it will take some time, just wanted a message on the subject to know that it was received.

Please make your own topic, I only saw your post by chance. That's probably why nobody answered.
