req.subrequest() reply.body does not decoded to plain text

[drsm]

when server's answer received with Content-Encoding: gzip .

is it ok?

Here you have two options:

1. proxy njs subrequest through location with 'gunzip on' http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gunzip_module.html module (by default it is off).
2. provide appropriate Accept-Encoding header to enforce backend to respond in plain text.
