Parse.Cloud.httpRequest response issue

[Johnny Zen]

Hi all

I am using a Parse.Cloud.httpRequest which I use on parse.com with no problems.

On back4app, the response is full of � \��W ���]s�F���ϯ`�f��)'����e��� (its not SSL)

So I assuming its a character encoding issue. The http file is XML : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I have tried adding header using:

```

headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/xml;charset=utf-8' },

```

but doesnt make any difference :(

Can anyone assist please

Best regards

Johnny

I have now added:

headers: {

'Accept': 'application/xml',

'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate'

        },

but this doesnt make any difference either :(

Hi Johnny,

In Parse Server, Parse.Cloud.httpRequest is little bit different of parse.com one. Basically it is an alias for request module (https://github.com/request/request).

Could you please paste here your complete request, including url?

Best.

Hi Davi

After discussing with your colleague on the live chat, here is what you need to do for a request where the response will be gzip.

The gzip:true option is not documented anywhere, which is why I was pulling my hair out!!

I have also added headers, although not sure if needed.

Many thanks to your colleague for saving my sanity!!

To anyone else having this issue, I hope this helps. I have also posted on stackoverflow : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39149683/parse-cloud-httprequest-response-gzip-inflation-decompression

```

Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({

     

     url: 'http://example.com/feed.xml',

     headers: { 

          'Content-Type': 'application/xml',

          'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate' 

     },

     gzip:true,

     success: function (httpResponse) {

          ...

     },

     error: function (httpResponse) {

          ...

     }

}
