Dear colleagues,
We’d like to enable gzip compression on all of RIPE Atlas' measurement
API calls — but thanks to the BREACH vulnerability, doing so could mean
that some enterprising individual with an obscene amount of time on
their hands might be able read the contents of the responses.
This means measurement results as well as metadata for measurements —
including the small number of measurements not marked as “public”.
We believe the drawbacks are negligible, but we’re looking for community
support.

Vesna Manojlovic
