Parse.Cloud.httpRequest response gzip inflation / decompression - parse-platform

Question

Is there something different in how Parse.Cloud.httpRequest is handling compression ?
On parse.com, I never had an issue with receiving a XML file, but using parse server on a different host (back4app), my httpResponse.text is a load of:
�E��ڇ�*q�������y���v^�����
Parse.Cloud.job("fetchData", function(request, status) {
Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({
method: 'GET',
url: 'http://example.com/test.xml',
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/xml',
'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate'
},
success: function (httpResponse) {
console.log("SUCCESS RECD FILE: " + httpResponse.text);
},
error: function (httpResponse) {
console.log('An error has occured with the http request.: ' + httpResponse);
}
});
}

Thanks for the great support at back4app, here is the solution
Basically, the option gzip:true is not documented anywhere but is needed.
I am not sure if the headers are needed, but I left them in anyway.
Parse.Cloud.httpRequest({
url: 'http://example.com/feed.xml',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/xml',
'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate'
},
gzip:true,
success: function (httpResponse) {
...
},
error: function (httpResponse) {
...
}
}
