Supported Content Encodings

Fiddler Classic automatically decompresses response bodies encoded with the following Content-Encoding values:

  • gzip
  • deflate
  • br (Brotli)
  • zstd (Zstandard) — supported in Fiddler Classic v6.0.20261 and later. Chrome and Edge advertise zstd in the Accept-Encoding request header by default; Fiddler Classic can transparently decompress such responses so the body is readable in the Inspectors tab.
