Support for Brotli (instead of gzip) for HTTP calls

Products

• CA API Gateway

Issue/Introduction

A client that's using Brotli as the compression algorithm to make HTTP calls. Is Brotli supported by the gateway? It appears only binary data is being received and cannot use the results of the API call made.

Environment

API Gateway 10.X

Resolution

A quick look at the documentation shows that gzip is properly supported, but there is nothing about brotli.

For example this page : https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/layer7-api-management/api-gateway/10-1/policy-assertions/assertion-palette/message-routing-assertions/route-via-http-2-assertion.html only mention gzip for content-encoding.

Currently, Brotli is not supported for content-encoding on the gateway.
