Deploying a zipped wasm

Hi @skilesare ! What program do you use to compress the module? The replica currently supports only GZip-compressed modules: If the wasm_module starts with byte sequence [0x1f, 0x8b, 0x08] , the system decompresses the contents of wasm_module as a gzip stream according to RFC-1952 and then parses the output as a WebAssembly binary. – The Internet Computer Interface Specification | Internet Computer Developer Portal You can use either gzip or pigz to compress the module.

This would be a great flag for dfx
