Possible to turn off gzip in HTTP POST

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m using POST to send a CSV file using multipart form data. When I use N8N, the server rejects it. When I use Make.com, the server accepts it.

The only difference I can see in the setup is that Make’s HTTP module has gzip off, and N8N’s has gzip on (at least according to the console.) There’s also an option in Make to turn off mutual TLS, but I have no idea if that has any effect.

Is there any way to turn gzip off for uploads in N8N’s HTTP module? If not, could that be added as an option?

At the moment I’m using a Make.com webook that literally takes the post from N8N and posts to the destination. That dependency on Make is frustrating. I’d love to have this all work within N8N.

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi @Lee_S
Have you tried setting Accept-Encoding headers,
the header key Accept-Encoding header is usally set to identity to indicate that you don’t want the server to use gzip compression.
