Manually gzip response using Encode/Decode Assertion

Products

• CA API Gateway

Issue/Introduction

Hi Team, 

  We disabled the  response.compress.gzip.allow to false and want to encode the response using Encode/Decode Asserttion. but not working as desired.

Could you please provide an example on how to configure the Encode/Decode Assertion for gzip compressing

 

Environment

Release : 9.4

Component : API GATEWAY

Resolution

Both gzip tactical assertion and encode/decode data assertion are working, the trick is, when compress, need to compress the payload as message, and give correct content-type of the payload
