godet | Remote client for Chrome DevTools | Browser Plugin library

I ended up using a different library that handles larger responses better and more efficiently.

Now, it appears that the DevTools protocol returns the response body after decompression but before rendering it in the browser when calling Network.GetResponseBodyForInterception. This is an assumption only of course, as I do not see code for that method in https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/devtools-protocol. The assumption is based on the fact that, when calling Network.GetResponseBodyForInterception the response body obtained is NOT compressed (though it may be base64 encoded). Furthermore, the method is marked as experimental and the documentation does not mention anything in regards to compressed responses. Based on that assumption, I will further assume that, at the point that we get the response from Network.GetResponseBodyForInterception it is too late to compress the body ourselves. I confirm that the libraries that I am working with do not bother to compress or uncompress gzipped responses.

I am able to continue working with my code without a need to worry about gzip compressed responses, as I can alter the body without problems.

For reference, I am now using https://github.com/wirepair/gcd, as it is more robust and stable when intercepting larger responses.
