Categorized request examples and articles tagged with [accept-encoding-header] keyword How do I make a GET request with an Accept-Encoding header?
To send a GET request with an Accept-Encoding header, you need to provide an Accept-Encoding header in the "Name: value" format, just like you would for any standard HTTP header. The Accept-Encoding HTTP header indicates that the client can accept data in the specified encoding (for example Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br) and does not indicate the expected data MIME type. To set the acceptable MIME type client sends an Accept header (for example, Accept: text/htm). The Accept-Encoding title is used to speed up the data download from the server since the server can compress the data before sending it to the client in one of the supported encodings. In this GET request with the Accept-Encoding Header example, we send a GET request to the ReqBin echo URL. Click Send to execute the GET Request with the Accept-Encoding Header example online and see the results.

The Accept-Encoding HTTP header indicates that the client can accept data in the specified encoding. The Accept-Encoding header is used to speed up the data download from the server because the server can compress the data before sending it to the client in one of the supported encodings. If you send a GET request without specifying Accept-Encoding header, or if the server does not support the type of compression the client accepts, the response body will not be compressed. In this GET request without the Accept-Encoding Header example, we send a GET request to the ReqBin echo URL.
