z/OS connect need to support payload compression

Our API requester endpoints support compression (gzip, brotli) by accepting the HTTP header “Accept-Encoding”, to optimize the payload size. We would like z/OS Connect to support compression by honouring the HTTP request header “Accept-Encoding”, and HTTP response header “Content-Encoding”.

Need compression of the JSON payload to reduce network band width use/latency.Currently z/OS connect does not support payload compression(accept-encoding

    This requirement is addressed by z/OS Connect V3.0.82 / APAR PH61452:

    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH61452


    IBM z/OS Connect now provides the capability to compress the JSON request body from

    the z/OS Connect Server to the API endpoint using the gzip compression method and to

    accept a compressed JSON response body from the API endpoint.

    This Idea is be accepted for compression of data between z/OS Connect and the API endpoint for API requester. This capability will be implemented in the OpenAP 2 API requester connection code and will be carried into API Requester for OpenAPI 3 when delivered.

    IBM Product Team, can we please prioritize and consider this request for implementation? This is needed for one of my key project that will deal with millions of transactions between mainframe and new Next Gen System.
