After running into a similar issue (in my case, without adding any Accept-Encoding header, it would occasionally fail to un-gzip the response, leaving also the Content-Encoding: gzip header in it, crashing the JSON parser), and with no clear way around this, I manually enabled gzip for Retrofit by creating the delegated Client implementation below. It works great, except that you probably should not use it for very large (e.g. > 250KB) responses, as they are first copied into a byte array.<\/p>\n
public class GzippedClient implements Client {\n\n private Client wrappedClient;\n\n public GzippedClient(Client wrappedClient) {\n this.wrappedClient = wrappedClient;\n }\n\n @Override\n public Response execute(Request request) throws IOException {\n Response response = wrappedClient.execute(request);\n\n boolean gzipped = false;\n for (Header h : response.getHeaders()) {\n if (h.getName() != null && h.getName().toLowerCase().equals(\"content-encoding\") && h.getValue() != null && h.getValue().toLowerCase().equals(\"gzip\")) {\n gzipped = true;\n break;\n }\n }\n\n Response r = null;\n if (gzipped) {\n InputStream is = null;\n ByteArrayOutputStream bos = null;\n\n try {\n is = new BufferedInputStream(new GZIPInputStream(response.getBody().in()));\n bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();\n\n int b;\n while ((b = is.read()) != -1) {\n bos.write(b);\n }\n\n TypedByteArray body = new TypedByteArray(response.getBody().mimeType(), bos.toByteArray());\n r = new Response(response.getUrl(), response.getStatus(), response.getReason(), response.getHeaders(), body);\n } finally {\n if (is != null) {\n is.close();\n }\n if (bos != null) {\n bos.close();\n }\n }\n } else {\n r = response;\n }\n return r;\n }\n\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nYou will also have to add an Accept-Encoding header to your requests, e.g. by using a RequestInterceptor<\/p>\n
requestFacade.addHeader(\"Accept-Encoding\", \"gzip\");\n<\/code><\/pre>\nFinally, you have to wrap your existing Client into this new GzippedClient, like so:<\/p>\n
restBuilder.setClient(new GzippedClient(new OkClient(okHttpClient)));\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThat’s it. Now your data will be gzipped.<\/p>\n
EDIT: It seems that in OkHttp version 1.5.1, a bug (https:\/\/github.com\/square\/okhttp\/pull\/632) seems to have been fixed related to the transparent gzipping which may (or may not) have been the source of my initial issue. If so, the occasional failure to un-gzip may no longer occur, though it happened rarely enough that I cannot confirm this yet. Either way, if you want to rely on your own, rather than the transparent adding\/removing of headers and gzipping, then the solution described will work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
