Decoding gzip response data using Javascript.

Has anyone built a custom connector in the DOMO IDE where the response data from the API was encoded with the gzip compression algorithm? Is there a way to decode the gzip algorithm in the DOMO IDE? Thanks.

There isn’t a simple way to ungzip the data coming back within the connector ide and domo doesn’t allow for external packages for security reasons. You’d likely need to write your own gzip function based off an existing gzip package

Thank you Grant, considering how common gzip is used online, there should be built in functionality for this. Re-writing a decompression algorithm in JS is overkill.
