Yeah - configured a JSON profile manually and applied to the URL of the service endpoint - I always get "Malformed JSON". When viewing the request, I see the compressed binary data.

 

The JSON is definitley well-formed and passes lint tests.

 

The only explanation I can see is that ASM is not uncompressing the GZIP in the request. I know it can compress/uncompress responses, but I haven't seen anywhere where I can configure it to uncompress requests

 

Without this functionality, I will have to drop gzip compression, which will greatly impact my app's performance. It seems to defy logic that there isn't such a functionality...

 

 

Thanks,
