I need to test my web application without using any http compression(disable gzip,deflate).I am able to do it in firefox using config screen,now i want to do same for google chrome.
Is there any way to disable gzip
compression in Google chrome browser?
Chrome doesn't seem to expose this setting, but what you can do is the following:
- get the ModHeader plugin for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/modheader/idgpnmonknjnojddfkpgkljpfnnfcklj?hl=en (or any other that allows you to fiddle with your browser request headers)
- set a new custom header
accept-encoding
to either:
- an empty value or
gzip;q=0,deflate;q=0
either should work
