Use only Brotli compression for a specific URI path

The following example rule will configure only Brotli compression for a specific URI path.

Since the rule configuration does not include Auto at the end of the custom algorithms list, the response will be uncompressed if the web visitor does not support Brotli.

​​ Example API request

The following example sets the rules of an existing entry point ruleset (with ID {ruleset_id}) for the http_response_compression phase to a single compression rule, using the Update a zone ruleset Open API docs link operation:

curl --request PUT \
https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{zone_id}/rulesets/{ruleset_id} \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{
  "rules": [
    {
      "expression": "http.request.uri.path eq \"/download/assets.tar\"",
      "action": "compress_response",
      "action_parameters": {
        "algorithms": [
          { "name": "brotli" }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}'
