I have problems trying to set up a nginx reverse-proxy that preservers gzip compression.
My setup :
I have a CLoudfront distribution with gzip compression enabled (as you can see on http://dvty1uxa5ftxq.cloudfront.net my main.js is indeed compressed shrinking its size by more than 1/3).
Since some pages are redirected to another website, on my main website URL I am actually routing requests via nginx proxies, the relevant part of the config looks like
server {
listen 443 ssl;
...
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
location @cloudfront
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_pass http://dvty1uxa5ftxq.cloudfront.net;
It would seem this is not enough to preverve gzip compression when a browser requests the website assets with proper accept headers specifying gzip. I am not knowledgeable enough with nginx to understand if I need to enable the gzip module or do anything. Most documentation I can find explain how to activate gzip encryption (eg for local files) but not when there's already a reliable gzip encryption performed by the proxied endpoint (here CloudFront).
Could anyone help me shed some light on this ?

From my understanding you must enable gzip and tell nginx it is okay to send compressed responses even if they are proxied.
location /
...
gzip on;
gzip_proxied any;
...
See https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gzip_module.htm for more documentation.
If you want to enable decompression for clients, that do not support gzip have a look at gunzip.
location /
...
gunzip on;
...
