I noticed that the python.org website doesn't use any compression for all HTML responses.
Apparently the sample nginx config for Heroku didn't include the
gzip_proxied
setting back in the day, which allows Nginx to apply gzip compression to proxied responses.This PR updates the nginx config file to allow applying gzip compression on proxied responses. This saves at least 37 kB on the HTML text of the python.org homepage.
