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.
How do I make a GET request without an Accept-Encoding header?
