I am trying to change the body of a HTTP response (for debugging purposes) using Charles webproxy. However, the response is GZIPed and when I modify something in the body (using the Tools-->Rewrite options) two problems emerge:

  1. The Content-Length header is not updated to reflect the new data I've added to the response. I have to manually update it myself.
  2. Even if I update the Content-Length manually, it seems the new GZIP body is invalid (ie, it is not GZIPed correctly).

I can't just remove the Content-Encoding: gzip from the request because I don't have control over the code that consumes the response. That code is always expecting a gzip body and it fails to parse the data if I remove the GZIP encoding from the response by removing the Content-Encoding: gzip from the request.

How can I modify a GZIPed response body using Charles?
