Description

Hi,

we are trying to directly pass gz encoded data via CreateWebResourceResponse by adding a header
Content-Encoding: gzip
and setting the gz content as payload.

In request headers there is no accepted encoding header, just passing Content-Encoding results in garbage results...

Are we doing something wrong or are those things not possible ?

Research direction

Start with CreateWebResourceResponse and the request headers to verify how Content-Encoding: gzip is handled when no accepted encoding is present. Done means confirming whether gzipped payloads are supported and documenting the required headers or the limitation.
