API not working in ReadyAPI though it works in swagger or Postman

Question

Hello,&nbsp;I have a problem with requests I imported from swagger.I have a request that looks like /m2m/fim/items?filter=(tags=DEVICE)&amp;exclude=tags,objectClass,href,operations,attributes,metadata,factory&amp;expand=properties&amp;limit=20&nbsp;With swagger I can test it, if I import it in Postman, it works as well. it gives me the current request:curl -X GET \&nbsp; 'http://xx.xx.xxx.xxx/m2m/fim/items?filter=(tags%3DDEVICE)&amp;exclude=tags%2CobjectClass%2Chref%2Coperations%2Cattributes%2Cmetadata%2Cfactory&amp;expand=properties&amp;limit=20' \My SOAP request looks like"GET /m2m/fim/items?filter=%28tags%3DDEVICE%29&amp;exclude=tags%2CobjectClass%2Chref%2Coperations%2Cattributes%2Cmetadata%2Cfactory&amp;expand=properties&amp;limit=20 HTTP/1.1[][
]"&nbsp;It looks like parenthesis are converted for the request (which does not happen with Postman), then my request fails.Can anyone tell me which syntax I can use so that the parenthesis will not be interpreted ?&nbsp;EDIT :I realized that I have a header, Accept-encoding, which is set to 'gzip, deflate' in my HTTP log, however in Postman, the header is Accept:application/json.&nbsp;I can't find where to update this, do someone know this&nbsp; ?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;thank you&nbsp;Alex

You should be able to enable / disable compression for the requests / response thru File -&gt; PreferencesOnce you disable, save the preferences.

thank you but, as you can see from my Edit, my problem is more related to having the proper header in my requests.

I tested on a single request and when I add the header Accept: application/json it works.

Now my problem is to add this header to the requests in all my test cases ...

finally I found my solution here :https://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Pro/automatically-add-request-header-to-all-calls/m-p/157302#M35630&nbsp;I add a RequestFilter.filterRequest event with the following:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; def headers = request.requestHeaders&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; headers.put( "Accept", "application/json" )&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; request.requestHeaders = headers&nbsp;Warning ! to use only once, otherwise, at each request's launch, the header will be added
