Issue

• We are testing a service via SOAP UI which is hosted on JBoss Fuse.
  From SOAP UI, by default the header below is sent
  Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate

We notice that when this header is sent, the Fuse ESB connection with the back-end service fails with the following error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Couldn't parse stream.

• Is this happening because the header from the front end fuse client request (Accept-Encoding) is transferred to the cxf client inside fuse which connects to the back-end service provider?
• What do we need to allow Fuse to accept this header from front end caller?
