Overview ¶

Package brotlihack implements a wrapper to workaround a non-fatal error returned by the Brotli package.

We need to handle Brotli a little specially because the decompresser we're using doesn't like Brave's response for some reason. While this is specific to *just* Brave right now, we might as well make it available for all engines in the off chance they need it too.

The error from the decompressor isn't fatal but it is treated as such: https://github.com/andybalholm/brotli/blob/57434b509141a6ee9681116b8d552069126e615f/reader.go#L74-L76 https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp/blob/b06f4e21d918faa84ae0aa12c9e4dc7285b9767e/http.go#L505-L512

So my crappy solution is to rewrite the part where it decompresses Brotli and explicitly ignore that "brotli: excessive input" error.
