I read the page about configuration.

So I have set my 'ob_callback' => 'ob_gzhandler'

And tested the REST Controller with Chrome's Postman - REST Client

I see response comes with header: Content-Encoding: gzip

But the body itself is same as usual a pure json body...

I tested with C# HttpWebRequest, I setted AutomaticDecompression to None, but it still read the json properly...

So I think I didn't get the FuelPHP response in gzip compressed properly?

Don't you think that Chome wouldn't display you the content in readable format if it was compressed?

If you want to make sure, you can use a network sniffer like Wireshark, or use telnet:

[wanwizard@catwoman] $ telnet localhost 80
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

Then type in something like:

GET / HTTP/1.1
host: fuel18.test.local
Accept-Encoding: gzip

so GET the url, enter the name of the virtual host, the accept header, en double enter after that to execute. You should see it returns a lot of garbage. If you do not add the accept header, you would see readable HTML (or json).

p.s. to make it clear, gzip encoding only works if the client sends a "Accept-Encoding: gzip" header.

You are right!

I am missing the Accept-Encoding: gzip, I thought the response header contains Content-Encoding: gzip means its already gzip encoded.

And I didn't know I could test it with Telnet, its worked!

Thanks @Harro!
