Type in Example 10

I have found a minor typo in Example 10 - create new bookings via POST.

At the end of the article when referring to the upcoming example it is stated:
"In the nest example we will be looking..."

instead of the presumably intended:
"In the next example we will be looking..."

Great resource, thanks for sharing.

A question about compressing request body

Hi,

I have an API whereby the body of a POST request needs to be compressed prior to sending or rather the API expects a compressed body.

The API is written in Node and the front-end is written in React. The API is used for product searching. E.g. submit a list of barcodes and then the response contains how much product of each barcode we have.

The reason for compressing the payload is that the request list can be in the tens of thousands and the (compressed) results can be in the hundreds of thousands.

My usual API testing tool is SoapUI and I can set SoapUI to auto-compress the body and then inflate the response.

I'm trying to learn Postman, but I can't see how to compress the payload. There doesn't seem to be an 'out of the box' solution to this.

The only other option I can think of would be to use the pre-request script, but I don't see how I can import zlib for handling the compression. If I could do that, I could 'push' the compressed body value into the request step.

I did find this GitHub issue but it doesn't help.

I'd be grateful if you could make any suggestions.
