title: How to return gzipped content with AWS API Gateway
body: <p>We have developed an application that offers serveral rest services and supports <code>Accept-Encoding</code> header to return compressed content through <code>Content-Encoding:gzip</code> header value. </p>
  
  <p>This application is deployed on ec2 instances on aws and when we send a request with <code>Accept-Encoding</code> value set the response is correctly built.</p>
  
  <p>We want to expose this api by using api gateway but it is just working for not compressing requests. When we send a request asking for gzipped content the <code>Content-Encoding</code> header is set correctly but the response content is corrupt.</p>
  
  <p>Do we have to set some special parameter or configuration in integration response or method response steps?</p>
  
  <p>Regards.</p>
