Inflate-Body

Returns inflate data from a given HTTP stream and validate its buffer length against an expected length and maximum limit. This module is ideal for parsing HTTP request bodies with string encodings.

Usage

const http = require('http')
const inflate = require('inflat-body')

htpt.createServer((req, res) => {
  inflate(req, options).then(str => {
    // do something with request string
  })
})

Options:

• length - The length of the stream. If the contents of the stream do not add up to this length, an 400 error code is returned.
• limit - The byte limit of the body. This is the number of bytes or any string format supported by bytes, for example 1000, '500kb' or '3mb'. If the body ends up being larger than this limit, a 413 error code is returned.
• encoding - The encoding to use to decode the body into a string. By default, a Buffer instance will be returned when no encoding is specified. Most likely, you want utf-8, so setting encoding to true will decode as utf-8. You can use any type of encoding supported by iconv-lite.

Installation

npm install inflate-body --save
