Failed to decode gzip: Failed to decompress data: gzip: invalid header - Rust

I’m stuck on Stage #(change to your stage, ex. #CR8).

I’ve tried sending compressed body, and hex code, I’ve read all the problems from forums and read the code examples. Still couldn’t get it to work.

Here are my logs:

include relevant logs here (please make sure to keep the backticks around this!)

And here’s a snippet of my code:

// here is my echo function for echo request
pub fn echo(request: &Cow<str>, path: &str) -> String {
    let mut encoding = "";
    for header in request.lines() {
        if header.starts_with("Accept-Encoding:") {
            encoding = header.trim_start_matches("Accept-Encoding:").trim();
            break;
        }
    }

    let response_body = path.strip_prefix("/echo/").unwrap().as_bytes();
    let mut encoder = GzEncoder::new(Vec::new(), Compression::default());
    encoder.write_all(response_body).unwrap();
    let body = encoder.finish().unwrap();

    let response = match encoding {
        "gzip" => format!(
            "{}Content-Encoding: gzip\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\nContent-Length: {}\r\n\r\n{}",
            OK.part(), // this results to "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n"
            body.len(),
            hex::encode(body)
        ),
        _ => format!(
            "{}Content-Type: text/plain\r\nContent-Length: {}\r\n\r\n{}",
            OK.part(),
            response_body.len(),
            String::from_utf8_lossy(&response_body)
        ),
    };

    response
}

// here is the main function code
match stream.read(&mut buffer) {
        Ok(size) => {
            let request = String::from_utf8_lossy(&buffer[..size]);
            let response = match extract_request_method_and_path(request.lines().next()) {
                (GET, path) => match path {
                    "/" => OK.whole(),
                    p if p.starts_with("/echo/") => echo(&request, path),
                    u if u.starts_with("/user-agent") => user_agent(&request),
                    f if f.starts_with("/files/") => file(path),
                    _ => NotFound.whole(),
                },
                (POST, path) => match path {
                    p if p.starts_with("/files/") => create_file(&request, path),
                    _ => NotFound.whole(),
                },
                (NONE, "") => String::new(),
                _ => String::new(),
            };
            stream.write(response.as_bytes()).unwrap();
}

Thanks a lot

This is probably your error, you are sending a hex string representation of the gzip encoded bytes. You should send the bytes as they are, not a string representation of them.
