I am trying to get the response from bargain finder as compress. I am setting the "Accept-Encoding": "gzip" but the response is coming as simple json file not compressed.
Response header contains following information also. 'content-encoding': 'gzip', 'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8', 'Transfer-Encoding': 'chunked', 'Server': 'Sabre Gateway'}
There are 2 types of compressed responses:
Accept-Encoding: gzip
This is done by HTTP, you don't see the compression in the response, because, as far as I know it is the protocol that decompresses it.
As you can see in the HTTP header (of the response), there's one that statues content-encoding: gzip which means that it was returned zipped, if not you would likely see json.
The reason why I say "likely" is that the endpoint seems to be configured to return the BFM response gzipped always, whether you request it (using the Accept-encodding: gzip) or not.
"CompressResponse": { "Value" : true }
This element is available in the schema, but not covered in the service description because it does not seem to be available for REST, only for SOAP, I have tested it.
