jmeter proxy: how to unzip traffic during / before recording

Question

Hi,

the http traffic I'm interested in to record is gzipped (the client sends zipped data to the server). The result is recorded binary traffic which cannot be easy modified. It's very difficult to modify the client in order to suppress compression. So my question: Is there an option or extension for the proxy to uncompress the client traffic during recording?

Thanks for any advice.

Answer 2

My environment: The client sends compressed requests. The server sends compressed responses.

My requirements: I have to modify the requests. I have to check assertions in the responses.

Your advice: JMeter can not handle the compressed  traffic in the required way. Disable compression on both sides.

Right?
