Silk Performer's GZIP-transformation functionality enables transparent decompression of GZIP-compressed POST bodies during script recording. Upon replay, POST bodies are recompressed into GZIP format. Without this functionality, GZIP compressed data sent by Web applications via http POST method data would be scripted by the Silk Performer recorder in binary format, making customization of the data nearly impossible. Data customization is however facilitated with Silk Performer's GZIP-transformation functionality.
Transformation is enabled for HTTP requests and responses that have the HTTP header Content-Encoding set to gzip. If you need to transform data with a different HTTP Content-Encoding header, see the steps below.
Follow the steps below to activate GZIP transformation.
