JSON Zip Response in node.js

Question

I\'m pretty new to node.js and I\'m trying to send back a zip file containing JSON results. I\'ve been trying to figure it out how to do it, but haven\'t had the expected result

You can compress output in express 3 with this:

app.configure(function(){
  //....
  app.use(express.compress());
});


app.get('/foo', function(req, res, next){
  res.send(json_data);
});

If the user agent supports gzip it will gzip it for you automatically.
