Why is FedEx API returning encoded characters?-CodePudding

FedEx Address Validation API is returning encoded characters and a 400 bad request error. Here is my request body with the secret key blocked out for obvious reasons:

POST /address/v1/addresses/resolve HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
x-customer-transaction-id: 
x-locale: en_US
authorization: Bearer {my secret key}
{
  "addressesToValidate": [
   {
      "address":{
         "streetLines":[
            "1234 Example Rd.",
            ""
         ],
         "city":"Morris",
         "stateOrProvinceCode":"AL",
         "postalCode":"35116",
         "countryCode":"US"
      }
   }]
}

This is what the encoded response looks like:

HTTP/1.1 400 BadRequest

CodePudding user response：

The answer was looking up how to decompress gzip in the language I was using. With Outsystems, I downloaded a forge component called gzip that compresses and decompresses binary to and from plaintext.
