What is the issue?

Hello,
I am trying to send a compressed payload (I have a remote server and latency matters), I tried this call:

curl -X POST \
 -H "Accept:*/*" \
 -H "Content-Encoding:gzip" \
 -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
 -H "Host:127.0.0.1" \
--data-binary @req.json.gz http://<SERVER_IP>/api/show

and I am getting:

{"error":"invalid character '\\x1f' looking for beginning of value"}

If I change the payload from: req.json.gz -> req.json (its non gzipped version, but I keep the Content-Encoding:gzip header) - it works.
Seems like ollama ignores the header Content-Encoding:gzip.

req.json content is:

{"name":"qwen3-coder:30b"}

req.json.gz is created by running gzip -c req.json > req.json.gz

So the question is: does ollama support compression?

Seems like `ollama` ignores the header `Content-Encoding:gzip`. `req.json` content is: ```json {"name":"qwen3-coder:30b"} ``` `req.json.gz` is created by running `gzip -c req.json > req.json.gz` So the question is: does `ollama` support compression?
