Question

I want to write an integration test for a library that handles streamed http responses that are chunked and gzipped.

Are there any services or other suggestions I could use to do this?

Ideal endpoint or service would have:

• Free
• Chunked
• No authentication needed
• Sending at least 5k of gzipped content

The Twitter API would be perfect if it didn’t require an account.

Maybe I’m over-thinking this, please say so and I’ll eat my humble pie.

Looks like github.com returns chunked gzip. Example:

curl --compressed -v https://github.com/madler/zlib/commits/develop > /dev/null
