Hello, I would like to know what compression algorithms logstash pipelines can work with? For example, if i have a pipeline polling a webserver that sends compressed data, will the logstash pipeline only automatically decompress the data if it's been compressed with LZ4 or gzip? ---

The http\_poller and http filter are built upon the http\_client mixin, which [uses](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-mixin-http_client/blob/671005ce0f7769938bbf2f5a417f7212f4c7209e/lib/logstash/plugin_mixins/http_client.rb#L178) the Manticore HTTP client, which is a wrapper of the Apache Commons library. Manticore [says](https://github.com/cheald/manticore#major-features) it supports gzip and deflate. ---
