Overview

Test suite validating the gzip/zlib compression and decompression utilities used by the HTTP server.

Description

This test file validates the GZipHeader parser and ZLib compression/decompression classes in the net_http compression library. The GzipHeader.FragmentTest uses randomized fragmentation to test robust parsing of gzip headers with various optional fields (FNAME, FCOMMENT, FHCRC, extra data). The ZLibTest suite covers a range of compression and decompression scenarios.

Key areas tested include:

• Gzip header parsing with randomized fragmentation across many header variants
• Huge data compression (stress test)
• Standard compression and decompression round-trip
• Error handling for corrupt data
• Chunked header decompression
• Gzip-specific compression mode
• Chunked compression and decompression
• Byte-wise reading of compressed data
• Truncated data handling
• Gzip uncompressed length extraction

Usage

Run these tests to validate changes to the compression library used by the HTTP server for request/response body compression.

Test Fixture

// GzipHeader FragmentTest uses randomized fragmentation
TEST(GzipHeader, FragmentTest) {
  RandomEngine rng(rd());
  struct TestCase {
    const char* str;
    int len;
    int cruft_len;
  };
  TestCase tests[] = {
    {"\037\213\010\000...", 10, 0},  // Basic header
    // ... many variants with FNAME, FCOMMENT, FHCRC, extras
  };
  for (auto test : tests) {
    for (int j = 0; j < 1000; ++j) {
      // Random fragmentation of header bytes
      GZipHeader gzip_headers;
      // Parse fragments until complete
    }
  }
}

Usage Examples

Test Pattern

TEST(ZLibTest, Compression) {
  // Compress data
  string compressed;
  ZLib zlib;
  zlib.Compress(input_data, input_len, &compressed);

  // Decompress and verify
  string decompressed;
  zlib.Uncompress(compressed.data(), compressed.size(), &decompressed);
  EXPECT_EQ(input_data, decompressed);
}
