The HTTP Stream Recompressor is a Node.js package designed to dynamically recompress HTTP streams based on request and response headers. It supports various encoding formats such as Brotli (br), Gzip (gzip), and Deflate (deflate), and provides a flexible way to handle raw data without compression (raw).

• Dynamic Compression and Decompression: Automatically decompresses and compresses streams according to the Accept-Encoding request header and the Content-Encoding response header.
• Support for Multiple Encodings: Includes support for br, gzip, deflate, and raw encoding types.
• Queue Management: Uses P-Queue to manage compression tasks with controlled concurrency, ensuring efficient processing of multiple streams.
• Fast Compression Option: Allows for faster compression at the expense of compression ratio, useful for real-time data streaming.

To install the HTTP Stream Recompressor package, use the following command:

npm install http-stream-recompressor

Or if you prefer using Yarn:

yarn add http-stream-recompressor

Here's a basic example of how to use the HTTP Stream Recompressor in your Node.js application:

import express from 'express';
import { httpStreamRecompress } from 'http-stream-recompressor';

const app = express();

app.get('/data', (req, res) => {
    const headersRequest = req.headers;
    const headersResponse = {};
    const streamIn = getYourDataStream(); // Replace this with your data stream source
    const fastCompression = true; // Set to true for fast compression, false for higher compression ratio

    httpStreamRecompress(headersRequest, headersResponse, streamIn, res, fastCompression);
});

app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server running on port 3000'));

Compresses or decompresses an HTTP stream.

Parameters:

• headersRequest: An object containing the request headers.
• headersResponse: An object containing the response headers.
• streamIn: The input stream to recompress.
• response: The Express response object to which the resulting data is streamed.
• fastCompression: Boolean indicating whether fast compression should be used.
