Disable deflate compression in nginx SSL

When I'm browsing to my SSL protected site running nginx with Chrome, I see I'm using TLS 1.0, AES_256_CBC with SHA-1, and DHE_RSA as key exchange. That's all good and in conformance with my cipher suite settings.

However, I'm using DEFLATE compression too. Which is superfluous in my opinion, since all the needed content (mainly JSON files) is already gzip compressed. Is there any way I can turn off deflate compression for SSL usage in nginx?

SSL compression is turned off by default in nginx 1.1.6+/1.0.9+ (if OpenSSL 1.0.0+ used) and nginx 1.3.2+/1.2.2+ (if older versions of OpenSSL are used). If you see SSL compression, you probably want to upgrade nginx.

Another obvious solution is to recompile OpenSSL without zlib compression support (which is actually the default).
