Description

We are using the play framework to forward requests to our micro services. They can return content with brotli compression but WSClient seems not to support Brotli. Is there any plan to support this?

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing WSClient's handling of compressed responses in the play-ws HTTP client, then identify how Brotli support fits the existing compression behavior. Done means WSClient can consume Brotli-compressed responses from forwarded microservice requests, with coverage for that behavior.
