I am wondering: is there a way to access the current request in a WriterIterceptor on the container side?

What I want to do is to gzip-encode the output stream but only if the client said 'Accept-Encoding: gzip'.

Thus I'd like to be able to do sth like

@Override
public void aroundWriteTo(WriterInterceptorContext wCtx) ... {
 
    if( wCtx.getRequest().getHeader('Accept-Encoding') ... 'gzip') {
        ... hook in gzip output stream
    }
                
}


What do you think - or what am I missing?
