Good afternoon!

It would be interesting if the Outsystem itself decompressed the content of the APIS REST responses when it located the "content-encoding: gzip" header in the response. Postman(https://www.getpostman.com/) already adopts this behavior when consuming APIS and this facilitates a lot of use.

I would think that HTTP(S) traffic nowadays is already compressed, so sending compressed JSON seems a bit silly.

I understand what you say, 

But I needed to do an integration with an external API and it was very time consuming to realize the compression in the headers, something that Postman as a client already does.
