Chrome is starting to support Brotli compression via HTTPS. See https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!searchin/blink-dev/brotli/blink-dev/JufzX024oy0/WEOGbN43AwAJ

Will fastly use Brotli compression when it is better than gzip and the browser supports it?

Thanks!

I wonder why Fastly normalize an Accept-Encoding for backend ?

just doing this allows client & origin server do content negotiation.
```
set req.http.Accept-Encoding = req.http.Fastly-Orig-Accept-Encoding;
```
and origin server returns Vary header correctly, it should also works for Fastly too.

is there any reason to force normalize in single candidate like below ?

(or If it only for IE things, It can be like below too)
```
if (req.http.Fastly-Orig-Accept-Encoding) {
  if (req.http.User-Agent ~ "MSIE 6") {
    unset req.http.Accept-Encoding;
  } else {
    set req.http.Accept-Encoding = req.http.Fastly-Orig-Accept-Encoding;
  }
}
```
