I am using this function to uncompress the body or a HTTP response if it is compressed with gzip, compress or deflate.
def uncompress_body(self, compression_type, body):
if compression_type == 'gzip' or compression_type == 'compress':
return zlib.decompress(body)
elif compression_type == 'deflate':
compressor = zlib.compressobj(9, zlib.DEFLATED, -zlib.MAX_WBITS)
compressed = compressor.compress(body)
compressed += compressor.flush()
return base64.b64encode(compressed)
return body
However python throws this error message.
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not '_io.BytesIO'
on this line:
return zlib.decompress(body)
Essentially, how do I convert from '_io.BytesIO' to a bytes-like object?
