HTTPClient: response body conversion fails when gzip is accepted

[Stephan Wissel]

Trying to wrap my head around this:
I'm fetching a large JSON Array using the http client:

final WebClient client = this.WebClient.create(vertx);

final HttpRequest<Buffer> request = client 
     .post(443, someHost, somePath).ssl(true) 
      /*.putHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip")*/
     .putHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=UTF-8"); 

request.as(BodyCodec.jsonArray()).sendJson(body, ar -> {
      final JsonArray receivedData = ar.result().body();
      System.out.println(receivedData);
});

When I uncomment the gzip acceptance, the JSON conversion fails. What do I miss?

Hi,

you need to decode gzip yourself or you can set on WebClientOptions the tryUseCompression flag that will set the Accept-Encoding header and decompress the content for you.
