No compression on osm.org "Map Notes" layer

[mmd-osm]

Although my browser has requested the "Map Notes" layer with compression, the response appears to be uncompressed.

I believe this could be somehow related to the ".json" suffix in the URL below. Either removing ".json", or replacing it by ".xml" enables compression again. Since this might be some Apache setting, I've opened the issue on the operations repo.

Sample request:

curl 'https://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/notes.json?bbox=17.354106903076175,52.47713460532417,17.810554504394535,52.556316065406556'  -H 'Accept: */*' -H 'Accept-Language: en' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br, zstd'

You haven't requested it with compression, you have said you are able to accept compression if the server so chooses. Apparently it chose not to in this case.

In any case I don't believe this is an operational matter as I don't believe we use apache on the fly compression at all.

Actually maybe we do, but you confused me with the suggestion that this was specific to the .json extension but it isn't as it happens for any JSON response regardless of extension.

[tomhughes]

Yes you can get JSON with /notes if you set Accept: application/json in the request - you don't need the extension.

The other thing was that it's part of our generic apache configuration so I couldn't see it in the web site config at all.

Now fixed in openstreetmap/chef@49e19a7 anyway.

Apologies, there's been a bit of an overlap of my answer with your update. Thank you for the quick fix!
