1 year ago @GalvinGao Proxyman already supports brotli decompression as long as the Content-Encoding is br.
I guess your Response Header doesn't have the Content-Encoding, right? So Proxyman doesn't know what decoder should be used -> Use raw binary.

1 year ago I see. Thanks for the information! I just double checked and it seems that there's a small discrepancy of how Proxyman handles the proxymanlogv2 file (that I captured on my iPhone using the Proxyman iOS App and the builtin VPN-based capture) and the har (that I captured on macOS using the Proxyman macOS App and the HTTP Proxy-based capture) file. Due to the sensitive nature of those files, unfortunately, I am not able to share the files that I've encountered the issue with, but here are some screenshots for a better explanation. Despite having Content-Encoding: br, the Body in proxymanlogv2 still only gives a hex viewer.
The Content-Encoding: br body in proxymanlogv2:
The Content-Encoding: br body in har:

1 year ago It seems Proxyman could not decode your br body.
I realize that Proxyman is using google/brotli, but with a commit 5 years ago. It's out of date.
I'm going to upgrade it and send you a Beta build, let see if it can fix it.

1 year ago @GalvinGao if you don't mind, let's try this beta build: https://download.proxyman.io/beta/Proxyman_4.9.0_Update_1.0.9_brotli.dmg
The Brotli library is updated to the latest tag, 1.0.9
Description
Currently, Proxyman iOS App doesn't seems to be supporting Brotli decompression out of the box. I have to export the response body and decompress it using
unbrotli, which loses all of the awesome feature (such as TreeView) from Proxyman and instead I have to open the response (typically a JSON) in external programs like VSCode and inspect the response from there.It would be awesome if the Proxyman iOS App can decompress the Brotli response body based on the
Content-Encodingheader returned by the server!Why this feature/change is important?
For one or two responses this might be OK, but for just a bit more responses and the process would feel much more devastating. Considering that Cloudflare supported Brotli compression a while ago, this feature would be a very useful one to have when requesting any modern sites that uses the Brotli compression algorithm.
