1. Proposed title of this feature request
Router compression should allow more recent Media Types

2. What is the nature and description of the request?
Router compression (https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.16/networking/ingress-operator.html#nw-configuring-router-compression_configuring-ingress) is limited to https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1341#page-7 which is fairly outated as newer Media Types are available and requested by customers to be supported. This is why it's being requested to enhance the router compression and to allow compression for all Media Types available at https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml

If implementing https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml is not possible a more recent RFC shall be chosen such as RFC1521, RFC2048 or even RFC6838.

3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
Many of todays Media Types are not defined in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1341#page-7 and hence can't be applied using httpCompression. Supporting a more recent RFC is highly requested to support more recent technologies and Media Types.
