Gzip

Any bright ideas for the best approach for handling gzipped data that's served as binary blobs with no headers? Would a proxy worker which adds a gzip header (e.g. a service-worker) work and give me uncompressed text?

Ah nice I'll look cheers

    const response = await fetch(url)

    const textDecoder = new TextDecoder()
    if (response.body) {
      let readable = response.body
        .pipeThrough(new DecompressionStream("gzip"))
        .pipeThrough(new TextDecoderStream())
      for await (let chunk of readable) {
        var string = textDecoder.decode(chunk)
        console.log(string)
      }
    }

    const textDecoder = new TextDecoder()
    if (response.body) {
      let readable = response.body
        .pipeThrough(new DecompressionStream("gzip"))
        .pipeThrough(new TextDecoderStream())
      for await (let chunk of readable) {
        var string = textDecoder.decode(chunk)
        console.log(string)
      }
    }

That works nicely 🙂 thanks @hannes_1234
