How do I disable automatic decompression in Logic App?

Question

I'm using the HTTP Action in a Logic App. I want the response body to be compressed in the next step, I'm just going to save the response gzipped. The API I'm calling requires Accept-Encoding to be gzip (or deflate), it will return 406 if that header is missing in the request.

I noticed that there is an option on the HTTP Action that disables automatic decompression.

However, when that option is selected it also seems to remove the Accept-Encoding header from the request, which causes the action to fail. Adding the header manually does not seem to work either, the Logic app removed these headers.

How do I keep the compression?

@Tomas E Thanks for reaching out. Accept-* headers except for Accept-version will Omitted as documented here. Unfortunately, you cannot use the HTTP action.

The workaround you can either create the custom HTTP connector or offload this function to azure function where you can add this header and call your HTTP endpoint and return the response to logic app from azure function.
