The request header states `gzip, deflate`, meaning, it is gzipped, you need to ungzip the content. There is a gzip node available I believe.

Nice catch -- so if those headers are not passed in, would the payload NOT be gzipped?

I don't think so, if the server code has been setup to gzip encode the content (regardless of the header), it will be delivered gzipped with a gzip response header too. For the request, it could be a requirement as the server will also try to ungzip the request.

But it is worth a try - the server _should_ honor the accept encoding header.
