Question

I am trying to do a request that accepts a compressed response

var request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(requestUri); request.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.AcceptEncoding, 'gzip,deflate'); 

I wonder if when I add the second line I will have to handle the decompression manually.

Answer 1

I found the answer.

You can change the code to:

var request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(requestUri); request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate; 

And you will have automatic decompression. No need to change the rest of the code.
