Description

I try enable GZip compression for improve connection performance between client and server, but it seems that WebView doesn't decompress GZip-response.

Response Header(from server) contains:

Content-Encoding:gzip
Content-Type:application/gzip

Body contains compressed JSON

On the Desktop browsers all fine,
but if it is android device in Chrome DevTools I see compressed body.

Mobile app doesn't decompress response body.
