actually NGINX_HPACK support was re-enabled once i fixed the patch Beta Branch - enable NGINX_HPACK='y' with nginx 1.13.9 with updated patch

 

both ngx_brotli and cloudflare hpack have their own variables to set in persistent config file /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc

Code (Text):

NGINX_HPACK='y'
NGXDYNAMIC_BROTLI=y
NGINX_LIBBROTLI=y

not enabled by default as they can break on new nginx releases so best to only make it optional for folks willing to deal with and troubleshoot/report such issues.

 

oh you meant Cloudflare's feature offering yes they have enable Brotli button and out of box they offer HTTP/2 HPACK Full Encoding support as users don't need to enable it. Proper HTTP/2 implementation should use HPACK Full Encoding i.e. caddy and h2o and I believe openlitespeed/lietspeed do. But nginx only offers partial HPACK Encoding support hence why Centmin Mod uses Cloudflare's provided patch to add HPACK Full Encoding support to match other web servers' and Cloudflare's HTTP/2 implementation
