AllowHTTPCompression Property

Enables HTTP compression for receiving data.

Syntax

int GetAllowHTTPCompression();

int SetAllowHTTPCompression(int bAllowHTTPCompression);

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

This property enables HTTP compression for receiving data. When set to true, the class will accept compressed data. It will then uncompress the data it has received. The class will handle data compressed by both GZIP and Deflate compression algorithms.

When true, the class adds an "Accept-Encoding" header to the outgoing request. The value for this header can be controlled by the AcceptEncoding config. The default value for this header is "gzip, deflate".

TransferredData will contain the decompressed data received by the server, but the Transfer event will report exactly what is received by the server (compressed data).

Data Type

Boolean
