Can Amazon consider accepting compressed files (e.g. gzip)? #4907
Description
Relating to file upload. The JSON format files are getting larger and larger due to so many variables and the bloated nature of JSON compared to TAB or even XML (assuming efficient design). The way things are going, the file sizes might just keep increasing.
Can Amazon consider accepting, for example, gzip compressed files on the endpoint. Amazon systems could then uncompress and send the plain text file (e.g. .json extension) to the queue for processing. That also has the advantage that if the file transfer has a data problem or gets interrupted, the archive wouldn't be valid, so it's an indirect way of checking the entire file reached Amazon. Currently there is no checksum or any other verification that Amazon received the file as intended.
If compressed file upload already possible, please let me know.
