Sorry, can someone please help me with this unexpected response body?

context

HTTP::VERSION
=> "5.0.4"

It looks like the server is returning gzipped vesion was some reason (you can check that using curl). Not sure how the net/http version is working, though.

[ronald]

Yes,

 HTTP.get("https://tpl.mmcdn.de/min/?g=1047_pc5847").headers['content-encoding']
=> "gzip"

But doesn't http do the ungzipping?

[tycooon]

It looks like you should use auto_inflate extension https://github.com/httprb/http/wiki/Compression.

[ronald]

That works. Thanks a lot.

Sorry, problem reappeared.

Any other hints?

Works for me:

I checked different projects:

• ruby 3.0.3 & HTTP 5.0.4 -> works
• ruby 3.0.3 & HTTP 4.4.1 -> works
• ruby 2.3.8 & HTTP 4.4.1 -> see above

For the older project running ruby 2.3 / http 4, it's currently not possible to upgrade to http 5 (needs ruby 2.5). So I will switch to faraday.

Since I can not reproduce the problem with the current version of http (5.0.4), I'll close the ticket.
