  • 1.  Compression Support?

    Posted Jul 17, 2018 11:31 AM

    Hi,

     

    Could someone confirm if there is support for comporession (gzip/deflate) on the API Gateway (version 8.4)?  I'm running into an issue where a backend service is performing compression properly when called directly.  However, when the call runs through the gateway, the response is not compressed.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Alejandro

    gzip is supported, but deflate is not, so far as per I know.

    I think there is a tactical assertion for this available at support.

    Hi Alejandro,

     

    RemcoDekker is correct, you can request the 'Gzip tactical assertion' from support for inflate/deflate support.

     

    To add a bit to the other answer, details on using GZIP can be found here:
