decodeRequest

def decodeRequest: Directive0

Description

Decompresses the incoming request if it is gzip or deflate compressed. Uncompressed requests are passed through untouched. If the request encoded with another encoding the request is rejected with an UnsupportedRequestEncodingRejectionUnsupportedRequestEncodingRejection. If the request entity after decoding exceeds akka.http.routing.decode-max-size the stream fails with an EntityStreamSizeExceptionEntityStreamSizeException.

Example

Scala

copysourceval route =
  decodeRequest {
    entity(as[String]) { content: String =>
      complete(s"Request content: '$content'")
    }
  }

// tests:
Post("/", helloGzipped) ~> `Content-Encoding`(gzip) ~> route ~> check {
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "Request content: 'Hello'"
}
Post("/", helloDeflated) ~> `Content-Encoding`(deflate) ~> route ~> check {
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "Request content: 'Hello'"
}
Post("/", "hello uncompressed") ~> `Content-Encoding`(identity) ~> route ~> check {
  responseAs[String] shouldEqual "Request content: 'hello uncompressed'"
}
