Validation

The following checks are executed by validate.sh for every framework subscribed to the compression test.

Content-Encoding header

Sends GET /compression with Accept-Encoding: gzip and verifies the response includes a Content-Encoding: gzip header.

Response content

Sends GET /compression with Accept-Encoding: gzip, decompresses the response, and parses the JSON. Verifies:

• The response contains exactly 6,000 items
• Every item has a total field

Compressed size

Sends GET /compression with Accept-Encoding: gzip and checks the raw response size. The compressed response must be under 500 KB (the uncompressed JSON is ~1 MB, so effective compression should reduce it significantly).

Per-request compression

Sends GET /compression without Accept-Encoding: gzip and verifies the response does not include a Content-Encoding header. If the server returns compressed data without the client requesting it, this indicates a pre-compressed cache rather than per-request compression, which is not allowed for any framework type.
