[Question] Decoding gzipped content for storage?

See original GitHub issue

This question is related to something I encountered when using before migrating to polly, but I see that the persisted recordings (.har files) store gzipped content text in encoded form.

I’d really like to have my recordings be human-readable (and editable), so I’d like to find a way to decode content as it’s persisted, then re-encode it when it’s read.

Is there a way to do this in polly?

Here’s an example I found of how to do something similar with nock (https://github.com/nock/nock/issues/1212), but I don’t really see any way to get at polly’s underlying nock implementation or any mechanism for extending the reading/writing of .har files.

UPDATE: it looks like my best bet may be to create a custom persister that wraps the FSPersister, manipulating the recorded data in findRecording and saveRecording… I’ll update this issue with my findings.

@jrnail23 that seems like a bug in Polly. Can you open a separate issue for that?
