File Transfer: is there a way to disable gzip feature?

[Kurt]

Hi,

I am trying to use the File Transfer class in PG.  My "cloud server" is expecting the size to be what the file size is.
But it seems like gzip is adding some extra bytes when I do the transfer, so the size is always 100+ bytes longer and it fails since it keeps writing to the stream.

Is there a way to disable gzip and just upload the raw bytes. 
For example, I have a photo that is 2731289 but FileTransfer is sending 2731416 bytes (nearly 130 bytes extra).

The good news is that the upload works all the way to the 2731289 byte but then my server/cloud throws an error (null ptr).  I don't have control off the server/cloud API.

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Kurt

Ok,

I'm still working through this issue - but I think I figured out one part.
If the Accept-Encoding is blank, it defaults to gzip.  So I simply set the Header with a Accept-Encoding of blank ("") and it no long is using gzip.

But the size of the transfer is still more than the actual file size (by 127 bytes).  Seems like it adds extra info, like the filename, and mimetype.  So my server expects 127 less bytes...
Bad news is that my server/cloud is throwing a Null Ptr - but I don't know the root cause as I don't have access to that code...

One hour to code and 16 hours+ to figure out why it doesn't work.  :-)

Kurt's workaround seems workable (guys, you should file an issue at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB so we can track/fix this)

There's another issue with gzip: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1518
