Meteor HTTP.GET get gzipped json back how to decompress?

var url = "https://www.parsehub.com/api/v2/projects/{PROJECT_TOKEN}/last_ready_run/data";
        var api_key = 'te79WidrkOmN_Fxs2e_kNnX5';
            url = url.replace('{PROJECT_TOKEN}', 'tbNBvhG208xhGUpecAk62V80');
            console.log('start fetching remote results from ' + url);
            this.unblock();
            HTTP.get(url, {params: {api_key: api_key}}, function(error, result) {
                if(error) {
                    console.log('http get FAILED!');
                } else {
                    console.log('http get SUCCESS');
                    if (result.statusCode === 200) {
                        console.log('Status code = 200!');
                        console.log(result.content);
                        
                    }
                }
            });

The result.content here is gzipped, how to unzip it? I tried gb96:zlib but could not make it work. Also is there a hidden flag while using HTTP.get to automatically unzip the gzipped response?

I also put this issue on meteorpad at http://meteorpad.com/pad/8LnKNnzusSNhzbQ5s/Leaderboard

To reproduce, just select a player and click "Add 5 points".

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sorry I know this is a really late response and the question has been open forever, but I have a solution.

In your Http.get options you can pass npmRequestOptions as an object. In this object use gzip : true and your response should be decompressed for you.

Something like this...

HTTP.get("http://something", {
    "npmRequestOptions" : {"gzip" : true}
}, 
function(err, res) { 
    //response is decompressed! 
});

Run Command:

npm install unzip

fs.createReadStream('path/to/archive.zip').pipe(unzip.Extract({ path: 'output/path' }));

Or pipe the output of unzip.Parse() to fstream

var readStream = fs.createReadStream('path/to/archive.zip');
var writeStream = fstream.Writer('output/path');

readStream
  .pipe(unzip.Parse())
  .pipe(writeStream)
