Available on crate features decompression-br or decompression-deflate or decompression-gzip or decompression-zstd only.
Expand description

Middleware that decompresses request and response bodies.

Examples

Request
use bytes::BytesMut;
use flate2::{write::GzEncoder, Compression};
use http::{header, HeaderValue, Request, Response};
use http_body::Body as _; // for Body::data
use hyper::Body;
use std::{error::Error, io::Write};
use tower::{Service, ServiceBuilder, service_fn, ServiceExt};
use tower_http::{BoxError, decompression::{DecompressionBody, RequestDecompressionLayer}};

// A request encoded with gzip coming from some HTTP client.
let mut encoder = GzEncoder::new(Vec::new(), Compression::default());
encoder.write_all(b"Hello?")?;
let request = Request::builder()
    .header(header::CONTENT_ENCODING, "gzip")
    .body(Body::from(encoder.finish()?))?;

// Our HTTP server
let mut server = ServiceBuilder::new()
    // Automatically decompress request bodies.
    .layer(RequestDecompressionLayer::new())
    .service(service_fn(handler));

// Send the request, with the gzip encoded body, to our server.
let _response = server.ready().await?.call(request).await?;

// Handler receives request whose body is decoded when read
async fn handler(mut req: Request<DecompressionBody<Body>>) -> Result<Response<Body>, BoxError>{
    let mut data = BytesMut::new();
    while let Some(chunk) = req.body_mut().data().await {
        let chunk = chunk?;
        data.extend_from_slice(&chunk[..]);
    }
    assert_eq!(data.freeze().to_vec(), b"Hello?");
    Ok(Response::new(Body::from("Hello, World!")))
}
Response
use bytes::BytesMut;
use http::{Request, Response};
use http_body::Body as _; // for Body::data
use hyper::Body;
use std::convert::Infallible;
use tower::{Service, ServiceExt, ServiceBuilder, service_fn};
use tower_http::{compression::Compression, decompression::DecompressionLayer, BoxError};

// Some opaque service that applies compression.
let service = Compression::new(service_fn(handle));

// Our HTTP client.
let mut client = ServiceBuilder::new()
    // Automatically decompress response bodies.
    .layer(DecompressionLayer::new())
    .service(service);

// Call the service.
//
// `DecompressionLayer` takes care of setting `Accept-Encoding`.
let request = Request::new(Body::empty());

let response = client
    .ready()
    .await?
    .call(request)
    .await?;

// Read the body
let mut body = response.into_body();
let mut bytes = BytesMut::new();
while let Some(chunk) = body.data().await {
    let chunk = chunk?;
    bytes.extend_from_slice(&chunk[..]);
}
let body = String::from_utf8(bytes.to_vec()).map_err(Into::<BoxError>::into)?;

assert_eq!(body, "Hello, World!");
