I am trying to decompress a .gz file using zlib, one of the inbuilt library of NodeJS. But while decompressing it is throwing incorrect header check error. I am using following code to decompress.
import fs from 'fs';
import zlib from 'zlib';
const rStream = fs.createReadStream('./path-to-gz-file');
const wStream = fs.createWriteStream('./path-to-gz-file'.replace('.gz', '');
rStream
.pipe(zlib.createGunzip())
.on('error', err => { console.log(err); }
.pipe(wStream);
.on('error', err => { console.log(err); }
.pipe(wStream);
In one of the solution on internet, it was suggested to change the encoding of read and write stream to binary but that also doesn't work. I've also tried almost every solution of this issues that are available online, but nothing works.
If anyone have any further question please let me know, I will clarify as soon as possible.
PS: The same file when decompressed using gzip which is default compression library of linux it get extracted as expected by using the following command.
