Hi,

Well, as long as you are just "playing" with the adapter, the (probably) simplest solution may just be to remove any Accept-Encoding header from the request, that way the server will always use identity encoding.

In order to achieve this, just locate the following lines in Adapter::Xaction::start() :
 libecap::shared_ptr<libecap::Message> adapted = hostx->virgin().clone();
 Must(adapted != 0);

And add these lines right after :
 if (adapted->header().hasAny(libecap::Name("Accept-Encoding")))
  adapted->header().removeAny(libecap::Name("Accept-Encoding"));

I wouldn't recommend doing this for production use though.
