Shelf 1.1.1 breaking change: request body runtime type changed from Stream<List<int>> to Stream<Uint8List> #189
Description
Shelf 1.1.1 introduced a breaking change. By changing the runtime type of request bodies from Stream<List<int>> to Stream<Uint8List>, it caused it to no longer work with instances of StreamTransformer<List<int>, List<int>> such as dart:io's gzip.encoder and gzip.decoder. This is a breaking change and, if it was necessary, should have been released with a major version bump.
The following code works with shelf 1.1.0 and not with 1.1.1:
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:shelf/shelf.dart' as shelf;
import 'package:shelf/shelf_io.dart' as shelf_io;
Future<void> main() async {
var server = await shelf_io.serve((request) async {
await request.read().transform(gzip.decoder).drain();
return shelf.Response.ok("");
}, "localhost", 0);
var client = HttpClient();
var request = await client.post("localhost", server.port, "/");
await request.close();
client.close(force: true);
server.close();
}
