Looks like Curl just added support for this in a recent version https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2017/11/29/curl-7-57-0-happiness/

Since Insomnia uses a dynamically-linked version of libcurl for MacOS we'll have to rely on Apple updating Curl (currently still on 7.54.0).

Still an issue on Windows though. It uses bundlel libcurl binary, which is probably 7.51.0. Any chance for update?

[gschier]

Perhaps! It looks like the library we use has updated to 7.57 now https://github.com/JCMais/curl-for-windows/tree/445e537cb2f5656e3a3ede09e9e4782a6b62c299

@gschier seems that it's still an issue nevermind of libcurl version?

I am using recent version of insomnia, but it still doesn't allow brotli:

< content-encoding: br


* Received 13.8 KB chunk
* Unrecognized content encoding type. libcurl understands deflate, gzip content encodings.
