Fixes whatwg/build.whatwg.org#85. @foolip can you verify that this is actually using compression as expected? I didn't really understand how HTTPS gives automatic compression...

I was guessing/hoping that HTTPS would automatically negotiate compression at the TLS layer. I checked in Wireshark, at it turns out that both over plain HTTP and HTTPS, we send ~7MB and receive ~4MB, either this isn't a feature of the protocol, or one needs to do something to opt into it.

http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/20406/is-http-compression-safe could be why it doesn't happen by default, if it ever did.

Still, https://build.whatwg.org/ works, so I'll merge this with a tweaked commit message and we can look for other solutions to whatwg/build.whatwg.org#85

Unfortunately, using HTTPS doesn't automatically compress, see
