Clients support gzip / deflate ?

[centminmod]

Any plans for Locust clients to support gzip and deflate for compressed page calls ?

[centminmod]

reading through change log for 0.6 http://docs.locust.io/en/latest/changelog.html seems to suggest there is gzip support enabled by default, but my requests all have content length that is of uncompressed size http://docs.locust.io/en/latest/changelog.html#gzip-encoding-turned-on-by-default ?

or is this relevant http://docs.locust.io/en/latest/changelog.html#improved-http-client

so something like this (no python coder heh)

class MyTaskSet(TaskSet):
    @task(1)
    def mainindex(self):
        self.client.get("/", headers={"Accept-Encoding":"gzip, deflate, sdch"})

The support is there. However, the UI currently displays the uncompressed size of the content. I agree that it would be useful to see the uncompressed size though.

Oh i see so it is testing for compressed size just web gui shows uncompressed

btw, is the above code i posted valid for passing headers such as Accept-Encoding ? just curious and learning

cheers
