Hello,

Http compression headers are required starting from 1.6.

You can of course start using the header right away.

Compression provides significant advantages:

1) Cheaper bandwidth costs

2) Faster requests

#1 is the main reason we're requiring the header

To use http compression, please include "accept-encoding: gzip" header in your request. Most libraries do this automatically

We decided to throttle unpacked requests before rejecting them completely. This is intented to give a soft "early warning" to developers. Timetable for throttling unpacked requests is as follows:

5.5.2020:    60 requests/minute
12.5.2020:   30 requests/minute
19.5.2020:   10 requests/minute
26.5.2020:   5  requests/minute
2.6.2020:    unpacked requests are not allowed
