Changes to Default File Compression

[Beneficiary Claims Data API (BCDA) Community]

Hi BCDA Community,

BCDA now stores files as gzip-encoded by default in an effort to improve efficiency and significantly increase the throughput capacity of serving files.  

Recommended actions:

We recommend specifying the `Accept-Encoding: gzip` header in your download requests if you are not already. More information can be found on our website.

BCDA will still respond to unsupported headers by returning uncompressed content, to ensure there is no breaking change for data users. 

Thanks,

The BCDA Team
