trying to use libarchivejs to decode a pure bzip2 stream

[pmx-pdg]

Hi,

We have a stream/byte array which doesn't have an archive wrapper (i.e. it's not wrapped in a zip archive - it's just a bzip2 compressed file). How can we use libarchivejs to decompress this stream/byte array?

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. We are using the file API but the decode doesn't work - we assume it's because libarchivejs needs a "archive wrapper" around the bzip2 file. Are we missing something simple? Here's the code: async decompressLibarchivejsFromFile() { let vm = this; this.decompressLibarchivejs(<File>this.files[0], vm); // this is what we get from an input type = file } async decompressLibarchivejs(file: File | Blob, vm: CompressionTest) { let archive = await Archive.open(file); let date1 = Date.now(); archive.extractFiles(entry => { let date2 = Date.now(); vm.messages.push(`Decompressed ${entry.path} ${entry.file.size} bytes in ${date2-date1}ms`); let link = document.createElement('a'); link.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(entry.file); link.download = entry.path; link.click(); window.URL.revokeObjectURL(link.href); }); } *Paul de Goede * Chief Technology Officer [image: cid:image002.png@01D146CE.6E1A26F0] <http://www.portfoliometrix.com/> *Mobile* +27 82 941 5151 <%2B27829415151> *Office* +27115683400 *E-mail* paul.degoede@portfoliometrix.co.za *Address* Corner Main Office Park, 2 Payne Road, Bryanston, South Africa <https://goo.gl/maps/hvnBeC1jVmF2> *Website* www.portfoliometrix.com PortfolioMetrix Asset Management Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom.

Hi, Just as a clear example I've attached a bzip2 file (bz2.txt). Libarchivejs can't decompress this but if you download the bzip2 gnu utility ( http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/bzip2-1.0.5-bin.zip?download). You can: bzip2.exe -d -v c:\Users\PauldeGoede\Downloads\bz2.txt Rename output file to .pdf and you can see it's a pdf document that a pdf reader can open. Libarchivejs can't handle this. *Paul de Goede * Chief Technology Officer [image: cid:image002.png@01D146CE.6E1A26F0] <http://www.portfoliometrix.com/> *Mobile* +27 82 941 5151 <%2B27829415151> *Office* +27115683400 *E-mail* paul.degoede@portfoliometrix.co.za *Address* Corner Main Office Park, 2 Payne Road, Bryanston, South Africa <https://goo.gl/maps/hvnBeC1jVmF2> *Website* www.portfoliometrix.com PortfolioMetrix Asset Management Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom.

Hi @nika-begiashvili ,

Would you be able to assist us in this regard? We are happy to compensate for time. You can email me directly on paul.degoede@portfoliometrix.co.za

Thanks

[nika-begiashvili]

I've taken a look and I think it's possible, we would need to expose https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/wiki/FormatRaw functionality, I'll do some experimentation in near future
I think this will also help with #14

Thanks! Looking forward to it. Happy to help with test cases etc. Let me know how we can assist.

Hi @nika-begiashvili

Do you have any sense of if/when this functionality would be available?
