httpx automatically decompresses responses when reading response.content, but the proxy was forwarding the original Content-Encoding headers. This caused clients to attempt double-decompression, resulting in ZlibError. Fixes compression header handling in: - Non-streaming Anthropic/OpenAI responses - Cached responses - Passthrough handler Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Test cases verify: - Content-Encoding and Content-Length headers are correctly removed - Response bodies are already decompressed by httpx - Keeping compression headers causes length mismatch issues - The fix doesn't break uncompressed responses These tests will catch regressions of the ZlibError bug.
