Compress response payload ?

[vincentsarago]

Each stac item could be quite large and for now we return the geojson in plain text in

sat-api/packages/api/index.js

Lines 19 to 28 in cb44931

	const buildResponse = (statusCode, body) => ({
	isBase64Encoded: false,
	statusCode,
	body,
	headers: {
	'Content-Type': 'application/json',
	'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*', // Required for CORS support to work
	'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials': true
	}
	})

I think we could add payload compression if the client accept it (headers should have "Accept-Encoding: br, gzip, deflate"). Theoretically we could ship a payload up to 6Mb which will contain a way more data than the non-compressed response.

edit:
adding for references that sometime headers can return "accept-encoding" or "Accept-Encoding"
