Qlik Cloud Automation API response missing Content-Length header

[jxp]

I'm using Power Automate to call a Qlik Cloud Automation execution endpoint. This worked fine until recently (last successful run: April 29, 2026). As of May 14, 2026, it fails with HTTP 411: "Content-Length for source file is missing or invalid."

The Qlik automation itself works correctly (verified via browser and Power Automate custom connector). The issue is that the HTTP response from Qlik's `/actions/execute` endpoint no longer includes a `Content-Length` header.

Response headers from Qlik (captured via Chrome DevTools):

access-control-allow-origin: *
content-encoding: gzip
content-type: application/json
date: Thu, 14 May 2026 22:35:59 GMT
strict-transport-security: max-age=15724800; includeSubDomains
vary: Accept-Encoding
x-job-guid: 40198e7b-125f-4a2c-bd98-f2d7b786c44f

No `Content-Length` and no `Transfer-Encoding` header. The response is gzip-encoded with no declared size.

Questions:

1. Was there a recent infrastructure change to how Qlik Cloud serves automation execution responses? (This worked on April 29 and broke by May 14.)
2. Is there a way to force the `/actions/execute` endpoint to return a `Content-Length` header?
3. Is there a way to disable gzip compression on automation responses (e.g., via request headers or automation settings)?
4. Are there plans to address this, as it breaks integrations with services that require `Content-Length` (e.g., SharePoint/OneDrive)?

Thank You!
