Quick example of using fetch to parse a chunked response
var chunkedUrl = 'https://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/ChunkedScript';
fetch(chunkedUrl)
.then(processChunkedResponse)
.then(onChunkedResponseComplete)
.catch(onChunkedResponseError)
;
function onChunkedResponseComplete(result) {
console.log('all done!', result)
}
function onChunkedResponseError(err) {
console.error(err)
}
function processChunkedResponse(response) {
var text = '';
var reader = response.body.getReader()
var decoder = new TextDecoder();
return readChunk();
function readChunk() {
return reader.read().then(appendChunks);
}
function appendChunks(result) {
var chunk = decoder.decode(result.value || new Uint8Array, {stream: !result.done});
console.log('got chunk of', chunk.length, 'bytes')
text += chunk;
console.log('text so far is', text.length, 'bytes\n');
if (result.done) {
console.log('returning')
return text;
} else {
console.log('recursing')
return readChunk();
}
}
}
got chunk of 32768 bytes
text so far is 32768 bytes
recursing
got chunk of 32768 bytes
text so far is 65536 bytes
recursing
got chunk of 6664 bytes
text so far is 72200 bytes
recursing
got chunk of 0 bytes
text so far is 72200 bytes
returning
all done! This output will be chunked encoded by the server, if your client is HTTP/1.1
