recommended conversion about archive HOT 3 CLOSED

It depends on how you're getting the file. If you're using HttpRequest, then one way I found that works is:

  var req = new Html.HttpRequest();
  req.open('GET', url+ '/test.zip'); // Request a zip file
  req.overrideMimeType('text\/plain; charset=x-user-defined');
  req.onLoadEnd.listen((e) {
    if (req.status == 200) {
      // Convert the responseText to a byte array.
      var bytes = req.responseText.split('').map((e) {
        return new String.fromCharCode(e.codeUnitAt(0) & 0xff);
       }).join('').codeUnits;

      // Decode the zip file.
      Arc.Archive archive = new Arc.ZipDecoder().decodeBytes(bytes);
      // Do something with the Arcive
    }
  }

There's probably a better way to convert the responseText to a byte array but I haven't spent time investigating it much yet.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Turned out I neglected to override the mime
type...

BTW, great work you've done there!

Best regards
