Add ability to deflate gzip'd payloads in HttpListenInput #1921

Open hynd opened 8 years ago

hynd commented 8 years ago

Useful for uncompressing data from something like http://bosun.org/scollector/ or other gzip'd payloads that need splitting before decoding?

:+1: although why make this configurable? is the data useful if its still compressed?

bigkraig commented 8 years ago

@rafrombrc @trink Whats the likelihood of this being included? I am evaluating using heka to funnel scollector metrics, which are posted in gzip.

The optional/opt-in-ness was in case some already use Heka just as a proxy for compressed HTTP payloads to another upstream (happy to change the behaviour!)
