Hello,

on my (Webfaction) hosting's panel when one wants to enable gzip compression for https site, there is a following warning:

Enabling gzip compression for HTTPS websites can make your site vulnerable to BREACH attacks. Please see http://breachattack.com for more information.


so I wonder is it still relevant, especially in the context of Hiawatha which foes gzip compression even without enabling that option?
