Description

Feature Request

Support zip compression.

Desired Feature

Configuration Specification v2.3.0 says that a file content can be compressed or not.

compression (string): the type of compression used on the contents (null or gzip). Compression cannot be used with S3.

It would be nice to support zip too, as it is quite common.
