Re: disabling header compression

Thanks for the quick replies.

So just in summary, in the current spec compression is the choice of
the sender but receivers always must support decompression.

It would be nice to have just a nice clean DISABLE_COMPRESSION in the
SETTINGS frame so that receivers do not need to support decompression.
Has that been discussed? I know there is a concern of cluttering up
SETTINGS, but this seems like an important option.
