      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      Support Google's new compression algorithm called Brotli:

      http://google-opensource.blogspot.jp/2015/09/introducing-brotli-new-compression.html?m=1

      We embed javafx in our app or chromium; this is based on the end users choice, javafx will start being slower on all pages due to the lack of Brotli support. Javafx will also cause unneeded cpu consumption when forced to use gzip. Note that Firefox will support this too.

      JUSTIFICATION :
      Keep up to date with compression technology.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Full support for Brotli compression

      CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
      Gzip compressiin
