node-deflate's Issues

"bad deflate kind" error

Hello! Can't use node-deflate. Trying to use this code:

var Deflate = require('deflate'); Deflate.deflate(new Buffer([255, 255, 255, 251]), 'deflate');

But it fails with error "bad deflate kind".
I were trying to find out what's the matter, so I suppose it's in the line 378 in deflate.cc:
char* strLevel = *String::AsciiValue(args[idx+0]->ToString());

I think so, because there is a value in args[idx+0], but strLevel is empty (or may be pointer is NULL).
As far as I've got it from the description of String::AsciiValue() (http://bespin.cz/~ondras/html/classv8_1_1String_1_1AsciiValue.html), "conversion to a string fails" and * String::AsciiValue() returns NULL.
Could you please tell me what the problem could it be?

Z_MEM_ERROR when passing a string instead of a Buffer to deflate()

deflate should just silently convert strings to buffers (or at least throw a more useful error).

miserable failure -- misuse?

var _write = res.write; // save the original write function
res.write = function(data) { // define a new write function
var dd = deflate.inflateSync(data); // deflate?
_write.call(res, data); // call the original write function
};
