I'm able to use the response normally in the code.\n\n\n\n### How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?\n\nAlways. Disabling gzip I can read the response normally on DevTools.\n\n```\nnode -r ts-node/register -r tsconfig-paths/register --experimental-network-inspection --experimental-inspector-network-resource --inspect=0.0.0.0:3123 --nolazy src/index.ts\n```\n\nRunning the code in the container, connect devtools with port 3123, and make the request.\n\n### What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?\n\nRead the response, no matter the encoding. I am not sure if it applies with brotli or deflate.\n\n### What do you see instead?\n\nN/A\n\n### Additional information\n\nRepro: https://github.com/rubnogueira/nodejs-repro-61222\n\nEdit: also not working with br and zstd","author":{"url":"https://github.com/rubnogueira","@type":"Person","name":"rubnogueira"},"datePublished":"2025-12-29T22:02:23.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/61222/node/issues/61222"}
