Description

features/compression.md (v3) linked Deflate to RFC 1951, the raw DEFLATE format. The HTTP deflate content coding is the zlib format, RFC 1950 (RFC 9110, section 8.4.1.2), which on-the-fly compression sends with static-web-server/static-web-server#764 (issue static-web-server/static-web-server#763). This changes only the link target.

The v2 page is left as is, since 2.x still sends raw DEFLATE unless the fix is backported.

Please merge this together with (or after) the code PR.

markdownlint-cli2 and prettier --check pass.

The HTTP `deflate` content coding is the zlib format (RFC 1950, per
RFC 9110 section 8.4.1.2), which on-the-fly compression sends with
static-web-server/static-web-server#764. Link it instead of the raw
DEFLATE format (RFC 1951).
