How i can manually convert to buffer?

If i pass buffer: true, I have no problem, it works.

The problem is that i don’t want all requests to be a buffer, so i removed the property and instead i’m doing Buffer.from(ctx.request.body) but i’m getting a different buffer instead.

Any idea why?

You can’t send a normal array over the wire 😛 An array is not a data structure outside of JS.

The Uint8Array is a representation of the binary data (byte by byte). It’s a buffer basically.

I’ll try to create a test case tomorrow but now i have to run! 🎉

But it should be:

empty -> no encoding, and works with buffer. utf8 -> utf8 etc -> etc

So basically i need the case where empty value or no value, doesn’t add any encoding.

And right now, the empty case will trigger the default encoding of utf8.

So… removing the default value will break compatibility since people usually don’t specify utf8 manually, they omit the value and make use of the default, which is utf8. This people will now get a buffer instead of the expected utf8 string. Thats why i claim that it will break compatibility but i may be wrong
