Compression

Content encoding negotiation and codecs (httpx.compression): gzip, deflate, brotli, and zstd. See examples/compressionDemo.zig.

// Advertise encodings; the client decodes transparently.
var response = try client.get("http://httpbun.com/get", .{
    .headers = .{ .acceptEncoding = "gzip, deflate, br" },
});
defer response.deinit();

// Codec-level API.
const blob = try httpx.compression.compress(allocator, .gzip, data);
defer allocator.free(blob);
const plain = try httpx.compression.decompress(allocator, .gzip, blob);
defer allocator.free(plain);
const limited = try httpx.compression.decompressLimited(allocator, .gzip, blob, 1 << 20);
defer allocator.free(limited);

Negotiate with httpx.compression.negotiate(headerValue) and parse offers with httpx.compression.parseAcceptEncoding(allocator, headerValue). Decompression is always size-bounded (MAX_DECOMPRESSED_SIZE).

Checklist

• [x] Client sends Accept-Encoding and reads decoded bodies
• [x] Round-trip compress/decompress matches input
• [x] decompressLimited enforces the cap
