Compression

Compression is provided as middleware.

Usage

The following example uses the middleware for both the client POST and the server response by specifying both the content-encoding and the accept-encoding.

import asyncio
from typing import List

from bareutils import text_writer

from bareclient import (
    HttpClient,
    HttpClientMiddlewareCallback
)
from bareclient.middlewares import compression_middleware

async def main(url: str) -> None:

    headers = [
        (b'content-type', b'text/plain'),
        (b'content-encoding', b'gzip'),
        (b'accept', b'text/plain'),
        (b'accept-encoding', b'gzip'),
    ]
    middleware: List[HttpClientMiddlewareCallback] = [
        compression_middleware
    ]
    async with HttpClient(
            url,
            headers=headers,
            middleware=middleware,
            body=text_writer('Hello, World!')
    ) as response:
        print(response)
        if response.status == 200 and response.body is not None:
            async for part in response.body:
                print(part)
    print('Done')
