Compressed (gzip) PUT and POST request body

[lnjuanj]

Hi, First of all, this API is amazing! One single file and so much power :) I would like to send compressed gzip content through POST and PUT requests (I send posts with tens or hundreds of objects, hence compression would be a great feature). I see the API does not support this by default. How do you recommend doing this? I guess the best thing would be checking the headers and if 'Content-Encoding' contains 'gzip' --> uncompress before managing the data. I would like to:

• Either introduce this into my config file
• Have it in the php-crud-api repo. Otherwise, I would have a library/file that could not be updated anymore as easily. I thought I could use the 'before' function but I see I wouldn't have access to the headers from there. Please advice me about this. Thanks!

Sounds like a good feature request.

Probably not needed. This should be easily detectable from the input data itself based on the first two bytes (a magic number):

a 10-byte header, containing a magic number (1f 8b), compression id, file flags, a timestamp, compression flags and operating system id.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gzip

@mevdschee That would be great !

Okay.. but how do I test? Is there a client that sends gzip content? What is your use case?
