actually - for websites so far, this seems to be used only by facebook/etc. I did notice it, considered whether to delay another week to do this. But since I'm not aware of any useful websites relying upon zstd, I put it off for "soon" (patches will be duly considered). It also would help to see websites using the feature. 2.9.2 is basically fixes prompted by feedback from 2.9.1 :-) > Would you be interested in adding support for that? > If i write a patch? sure - there's enough in Lynx now for gzip and brotli that the patter should be easy to follow. -- Thomas E.
