# Type of request: This is a ...

[*] bug report
[ ] feature request

# Detailed description

Sending CloudWatch metrics data using `content-encoding: gzip` encoding results in 404. The same metrics sent uncompressed using `content-encoding: identity` returns 200 OK.

The metrics compressed with `content-encoding: gzip` work against AWS CloudWatch.

According to [CloudWatch documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/API_PutMetricData.html) `PutMetricData` accepts `gzip` compressed payloads but the docs are not clear on content-encoding at that point.

> Each PutMetricData request is limited to 40 KB in size for HTTP POST requests. You can send a payload compressed by gzip. Each request is also limited to no more than 20 different metrics.

## Expected behavior

I expected `localstack` `cloudwatch` to be able to receive `gzip` encoded payloads.

## Actual behavior

`encoding: gzip` results in HTTP error 404.

# Steps to reproduce

The Elixir library `telemetrics_library_cloudwatch` uses `gzip` compression by default. I configured a bunch of metrics and configured the library to periodically send the metrics. This resulted in 404 failures.

The requests against the `localstack` container started working when I commented out the `gzip` content type setting in line 12 of `TelemetryMetricsCloudWatch.Cloudwatch` module [here](https://github.com/bmuller/telemetry_metrics_cloudwatch/blob/2293af20e80c058338c8d4248191518642484986/lib/telemetry_metrics_cloudwatch/cloudwatch.ex#L12)

Apologies for not having simpler steps to reproduce.

## Command used to start LocalStack

Docker Compose with following settings:

```
  localstack:
    image: localstack/localstack:0.12.3
    restart: always
    environment:
      - SERVICES=s3,cloudwatch
      - DEFAULT_REGION=eu-west-2
      - DEBUG=1
      - DATA_DIR=/tmp/localstack/data
      - DOCKER_HOST=unix:///var/run/docker.sock
      - HOST_TMP_FOLDER=/tmp/localstack
    ports:
      - 4566-4599:4566-4599
    volumes:
      - /tmp/localstack:/tmp/localstack
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
```

## Client code (AWS SDK code snippet, or sequence of "awslocal" commands)



if not in_docker():
        
        return
    print('INFO: Received command to restart all processes ...')
    cmd = ('ps aux | grep -v supervisor | grep -v docker-entrypoint.sh | grep -v "make infra" | '
        "grep -v localstack_infra.log | awk '{print $1}' | grep -v PID")
    pids = run(cmd).strip()
    pids = re.split(r'\s+', pids)
    pids = [int(pid) for pid in pids]
    this_pid = os.getpid()
    for pid in pids:
        if pid != this_pid:
            try:
                
                os.kill(pid, signal.SIGKILL)
            except Exception:
                pass
    
    os._exit(0)
