Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the Issue

The Accept-Encoding header value in POSTman API is not as per RFC standard as mentioned here. The value should be only gzip, not application/gzip The request is also sent with Accept-Encoding: application/gzip The server sends the data uncompressed if this header is sent as application/gzip Not sure if this is expected/intentional

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Create a new request
  2. Under Headers tab, select Accept-Encoding as key
  3. type gzip in value text box

Clarifying what @raghumirajkar reported:

The default set is gzip, deflate, br image

The problem only occurs if this header is overridden and the first value is blindly chosen: image
