Hello, why was Accept-Encoding header removed from Kotlin SDK and what to do if we want to send it to server? otherwise there`s at least 3x traffic https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook-kotlin/commit/eca9521a0c79f5190a7fe009f4f4309f861df92d

Hi Giorgi — hey! From my research, the intent behind removing the manual

Accept-Encoding

header is to rely on the HTTP client’s automatic compression handling rather than hardcoding it in the SDK. In the source... • L*ine 53*: default client is created

private val client: OkHttpClient = OkHttpClient(),

• Line 91: the request is executed

client.newCall(getRequest).enqueue(...)

Line 91 is where OkHttp would handle it automatically.

Thanks for the reply, it`s strange though because in iOS SDK it`s hardcoded...

Hi @brief-umbrella-80783 The

Accept-Encoding

header was removed from the

NetworkDispatcherOkHttp

dispatcher because OkHttp adds it automatically and handles decompression transparently. When the header was set manually, OkHttp disabled its automatic decompression and passed raw compressed bytes to the callback. And it led to a crash. For the

NetworkDispatcherKtor

, we created a PR that adds the

ContentEncoding

plugin, which handles both adding the header and decompressing responses automatically.
