I use Fiddler to debug my application. Whenever the response is compressed by server, instead of decompressed response, Fiddler shows unreadable binary data:
/* Response to my request (POST) */
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: xyz.com

How can I get the response decompressed?
I use fiddler version 2.3.4.4 and just noticed that in the Inspectors tab ("Raw" sub-tab), above the response section (in case of gzip-ed response), appears "Response is encoded and may need to be decoded before inspection. Click here to transform."
If you click on that, the response becomes readable.
The settings are pretty much the default, I just installed Fiddler and did not change anything.
If you don't want to have to click per response as in the accepted answer, using the menu, click Rules -> Remove All Encodings.
From the fiddler faq
Q: I like to navigate around a site then do a "search" for a text on all the logged request/responses. I was curious if Fiddler automatically decompressed gzipped responses during search?
A: Fiddler does not decompress during searches by default, since it would need to keep both the compressed and decompressed body in memory (for data integrity reasons).
In current versions of Fiddler, you can tick the "Decode Compressed Content" checkbox on the Find dialog.
