Stream: bulk data
Topic: gzip content-encoding support

Hi all,
Wanted to confirm that we can support additional header types that are not specified in the bulk spec for File Requests.
We were hoping to start supporting gzip encoding but first wanted to make sure that it'll still be FHIR compliant.
Workflow: Caller supplies "Accept-Encoding:gzip", our bulk FHIR server responds back with gzip-encoded content with "Content-Encoding: gzip".
Saw a similar thread about this earlier: https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179250-bulk-data/topic/.24export.20operation
Thanks in advance!

Absolutely! In general, extensions to the API work great as long as clients are able to opt into them (rather than being required to pass along special parameters)

Thanks for the prompt reply Josh! Will note the "opt-in" nature of our API extensions in the future too :)
