Error in Chrome - Refused to set unsafe header "Accept-Encoding" about pubg-typescript-api

[martinsileno]

Hi, thanks for reporting.

I added the header to make the server respond with gzipped content, as explained here.

However, it appears that this is a forbidden header name for browsers, but it is fine when sending requests from other sources (like node).

Just to confirm, do you get a gzipped response (does the server reply with Content-Encoding: gzip) after commenting out the Accept-Encoding header?

I will patch it by defaulting useGzip to false, so that it can be set to true when initializing PubgAPI when using node and it stays false if sending requests through a browser.

Hello,
I used the wrapper in fully client side application, so it was used quite unusual way. Expected usage is here server to server, where the Accept-Encoding could be smooth. So my error report was probably misleading. Sorry for that.

The new version #7 (1.3.1) works perfectly w/o error even on client side. It looks like the response is using gzip. Here are the headers for new version:
