How disable gzip on azure function app?

The gzip for azure functions app is enabled by default, is there any way to disable it?

I tried to edit the web.config file but there is no place to access the file system on the server.

Solution

  • You could edit urlCompression in the LocalSiteRoot/Config/applicationhost.config via Kudu Debug console(CMD).

    enter image description here

    <system.webServer>
    <urlCompression doStaticCompression="false" doDynamicCompression="false" />
</system.webServer>

    Compression in IIS 7.x is configured with two .config file elements in the space. The elements can be set anywhere in the IIS/ASP.NET configuration pipeline all the way from ApplicationHost.config down to the local web.config file.
