To make HTTP requests with gzip/deflate compression with Node, we set the gzip property.
For instance, we write
request(
{ method: "GET", uri: "http://www.example.com", gzip: true },
(error, response, body) => {
console.log(response.headers["content-encoding"]);
console.log(body);
}
);
to call request with an object with the gzip option set to true to make request with gzip compression.
Then we get the response headers from response.headers and the response body from body.
