Deflate Compressed Response

GET https://postman-echo.com/deflate

This endpoint returns the response using deflate compression algoritm. The uncompressed response is a JSON string containing the details of the request sent by the client. For this endpoint to work, one should request with Accept-encoding header containing deflate as part of its value. Qodex supports gzip, deflate and SDCH decoding and automatically sends them as part of the request.

HTTP Compression allows the server to send responses in a compressed format, which is uncompressed by the client before processing. This reduces network bandwidth consumption at the cost of increase in CPU usage. To know more about this, refer the HTTP Compression wikipedia article.
