             Summary: Include the header 'content-encoding' during logging on client side
                 Key: CXF-6100
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-6100
             Project: CXF
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 3.0.2
            Reporter: member sound
            Priority: Minor


>From the client perspective:
LogginInInterceptor and GZIPInInterceptor in combination will log the xml responses from webservices.

By debugging I know now that the "content-encoding" header is explicitly removed by the GZIPInInterceptor:

// remove content encoding header as we've now dealt with it
if (key.equalsIgnoreCase("Content-Encoding")) {
       protocolHeaders.remove(key);
       break;
}

I think for logs quality it would be much better to leave the header as it is. Because one could then directly see which xml responses have been reveived compressed. And the statement "remove content encoding as we've now dealt with it", I think when the logged xml is human readably, it should be clear to the user that obviously the application has dealt with the encoding.

So the removal of the header does not add extra information here, but prevents many users from clearly seeing the real xml response including all headers.
(I searched the net and came to numerous threads and users that claimed the same issue "how can I know my received xml response was gzip compressed?", but non of them had a solution).


It would be great if you could discuss to take out the explicit header removal statement.
