"bad deflate kind" error about node-deflate

[jahewson]

Hi, the code you posted works fine for me - can you double-check it? I don't see any problems with strLevel.

To get a better error message, change line 390 of deflate.cc to:

Local<Value> exception = Exception::TypeError(String::Concat(String::New("bad deflate kind: "), args[idx+0]->ToString()));

this may shed some light on the problem.

(P.S. are you sure you want to use DEFLATE instead of GZIP? - gzip has extra integrity checks)

I tried to do so:
Local<Value> exception = Exception::TypeError(String::Concat(String::New(strLevel), args[idx+0]->ToString()));
it returns "TypeError: deflate" instead of "TypeError: deflatedeflate"

I tried your code, it returns "TypeError: bad deflate kind: deflate"

P.S. I need DEFLATE and ZLIB, ActionScript uses them for compressing the byte array.

Hmm... confusing. As I still can't re-create the original problem, I'm going to have to ask you to send me a complete working test case that exhibits the problem, and can you send me your compiled copy of deflate-bindings.node from the build directory and let me know the output of gcc -v - thanks!

I never managed to re-produce this problem, so I'm going to close the issue - anyone who has this problem is welcome to re-open it...
