Research direction
The issue is to add Snappy and Deflate compression support for HTTP publishing in nsqd. The discussion in #1149 likely contains context and desired approach. Relevant files to examine include the HTTP handler in nsqd/http.go and the existing compression support in the NSQ protocol. Any linked PRs or maintainer comments should be reviewed for implementation details.
