Custom transformer with body_filter for compressed response

Hi,

While developing a custom response transformer plug-in and I’m hitting a puzzle on how to approach compressed responses. I have read through Kong bundled and third-party plugins source code which implement body_filter or access but none of those seem to deal with compressed responses (e.g. gzip).

I’m dealing with content-type of application/json exclusively.
The only solution I’ve found is to use the request-transformer plugin and replace the headers to have Accept-Encoding:identity.

Is there any other, known Kong solution?

p.s. I have found related suggestions and issues :
