jmeter proxy: how to unzip client traffic during recording
Hi,
the http traffic I'm interested in to record is gzipped (the client sends
zipped data to the server). The result is recorded binary traffic which
cannot be easy modified. It's very difficult to modify the client in order
to suppress compression. So my question: Is there an option or extension for
the proxy to uncompress the client traffic during recording?
Thanks for any advice - Klaus

When the server sends compressed responses , JMeter should be able to handle
it just fine (assuming you have a text mime type of text/html and an
encoding of gzip) - and your assertions should work.
Not sure of whether JMeter can support when the client sends compressed
request (but your original question was related to the proxy) - if
HTTPclient supports it then it should be possible

Sort of.
JMeter can handle compressed server traffic.

No, I did not say that.
But if you can disable compression, it will make things a lot easier.

My environment:
- The client sends compressed requests.
- The server sends compressed responses.
My requirements:
- I have to modify the requests.
- I have to check assertions in the responses.
Your advice:
- JMeter can not handle the compressed traffic in the required way.
- Disable compression on both sides.
Right?

No.
But JMeter is open source, so you can create your own version of the proxy.
But I wonder if that will help - won't you have to recompress the
content in order to upload it?
Or does the server accept uncompressed input?

However, the original question was about decompressing client data,
not suppressing server compression.

Hi,
think you should disable the client (Firefox to use gzip) to use gzip,
aka disallow to use gzip. The server should answer uncompressed content.
The Client sends a header about the capabilities. One of the
capabilities is to accept gzip content.
