Description Philippe Mouawad 2016-11-15 16:56:35 UTC 
Hello,
The issue is the following.
I have an application that uses deflate compression.

I start recorder, I configure Firefox so that JMeter record.
I access application, I get a page saying "Error on content encoding" (translation of french message "Erreur d'encodage de contenu").

If I remove deflate from firefox in about:config and keep only gzip, network.http.accept-encoding=gzip

It works.

The bug is in JMeter Test script recorder.

It is a pretty nasty bug and it may block a lot of users facing it who would think JMeter is not able to record their application.

I must confess I found the workaround by chance.

Regards 
Philippe

After further tests, this does not break all applications using Deflate.
