Creating a call to send compressed data?

Hi,

 

my team would like to use Ready!API to create a call to send compressed data(gzip) and post it to make sure this works correctly for our rest service.

i can get some more info if needed as i'm sure this is a bit vague.

i was provide this link for some information.

 

https://github.com/azzlack/Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.MessageHandlers.Compression

 

is this something the tool can do?

thanks Lee

    Hi lzc,

     

    Ready! API allows sending various types of attachments. Please read this page for details.

    I would suggest that you try the tool to implement your task – in this case, you will be sure that Ready! API matches (or doesn’t match) your needs.

      Hi, thanks for the input!

       

      it's not quite what i was looking for but it gives me another idea. we aren't really sending attachments, we are sending compressed data but it might not always be compressed. Ready!API has a checkbox for compressed data in the settings but we need it to be more dynamic. One of our developers has a question out for that so we'll see what the answer is on that.

       

      thanks Lee

        It would be better to check with developer first if the service can allow the compressed data, if yes, then probably you can try it out. Otherwise does not really needed to use compress data, right?
