Compression

Responses compressed with gzip or deflate, whatever you ask for.

About Compression

/gzip and /deflate always return a compressed JSON body with the matching Content-Encoding header, so you can test that your client decompresses it correctly (browsers do it for you).

How to use

  1. Pick an endpoint and fill in its path, query and header values – the defaults already work.
  2. Press Send to call it from your browser, or copy the ready-made curl command for your terminal.
  3. Read the status, timing, response headers and body – or open the request in the Request Tester to change anything.

Requests are answered and forgotten: HttpNex never stores what you send – only an anonymous count of calls per endpoint group.
