Hi,
I suggest you read our very good documentation once more: https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/ It's in here, please read it again.

@JordanP I did read the documentation and was able to only find gzip "compression" and nothing about gunzip "decompression"

I am trying to ungzip a request sent to a service reverse proxied by ingress-nginx.
The service does not support decompression of gzipped requests.

@kushwiz I will include the gunzip module in the next version
