Compress WebVTT files (.vtt)

alrra · alrra · commit 0bb12c832be9 · 2014-05-31T01:01:48.000+03:00
* WebVTT files are basically text files, therefore, they compress quite nicely. * Browsers that have support for WebVTT don't encounter any problems when the `.vtt` files are being served compressed. Ref: http://dev.w3.org/html5/webvtt/ http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-13
