Can Nginx decompress gzip file in response?

Question

Question:

What exactly?

Request curl 127.0.0.1/file.json.gz should return decompressed json in response.

More details:

File exists /path/file.json.gz.
Nginx config:

server {
 location / {
        gunzip on;
        root   /path;
    }
}

Nginx build includes gunzip module http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gunzip_module.html

nginx -V 2>&1 | grep "\-\-with\-http_gunzip_module" => ... --with-http_gunzip_module ...

Response is gzip encoded:

curl -v 127.0.0.1/file.json.gz
*   Trying 127.0.0.1...
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 80 (#0)
